I Had A Very Strict Upbringing With

My Husband Doesn't Know What My Songs Are About - Even When They're About Him. He's Very British In That Way. He Doesn't Ask, And He Doesn't Want To Be Told.

Robert Plant Asked Me To Marry Him, But I Said 'no.' I Mean, You Just Don't Want To Marry Someone You've Wanted To Do It With Since You Were Thirteen, Because, Well, If He Farts, I Would, Like, Die!

I Think Everyone Understands Grief, The Journey It Takes Us On, Whether It's The Death Of A Loved One, The End Of A Relationship, A Disappointment. Some People Don't Deal With It, The Power Of It. Some Do. Some Feel The Weight Of It And It Informs Their Choices. I've Had To Open Up To Grief In Different Contexts.

I've Always Seen The Songs As Having A Consciousness. Since I Was Two-and-a-half They Would Come To Me From Nowhere. I Never Thought That I Was Conjuring Them By Myself, And I Was Always Grateful They Would Come And Visit... They've Always Been Very Much Alive. They Don't Have A Physical Body Like We Do But There Seems To Be An Awareness.

For Many Years, I Shut Down That Place Inside Myself That Needed To Rage, Cry, Ask Questions And Basically Just Express Herself. I Made A Conscious Choice When I Put (the Song) 'me And A Gun' On The Record Not To Stay A Victim Anymore.
