Motherhood was the great equalizer for me; I started to identify with everybody.

Tired of all this mad frustration / Tired of all the aggravation / Sick and tired of devastation / Give it some consideration

Sweet dreams are made of this / Who am I to disagree? / I've traveled the world and the seven seas / Everybody's looking for something / Hold your head up / Keep your head up, moving on

I'm just an ordinary person.

I see myself as a traveller.

I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike. I know that because I don't come from a wealthy background.

I would love to meet a dodo.

Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody... as a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.

I've never been a social person.

The music scene in the ’70s was like the United Kingdom in the ’70s – we had a lot of unemployment, we had inflation, we had a lot of strikes going on, on a national scale, and a lot of discontent. That was reflected in the music.
