When I found out I was pregnant, my mother said, 'Dont separate your life, the life that youre going to make with this child, from the things that you are and what you want to do.'

There's been a lot of coming home in the early mornings after funny nights out, having bizarre sandwiches in bed.

I had this weird, nomadic little tent with a rug over it, like a booth where I'd sing the vocals.

Who needs a handbag? I put my money in my bra.

When a child is born into this world it has no concept of the tone the skin is living in.

I've always been doing stuff, being creative. But I got to the point where I starting to feel this longing, craving, itchy feeling - which was the first sign that it was time. I've made a few attempts to make other solo records, but when I've looked back at the body of work I've always felt like I was never quite there.
