Possibly Because I Grew Up Not Feeling

I'm 41, I'm A Woman, Not A Kid. I Have No Interest In Making Silly Pop Music.

The Truth Is, I've Always Been Wracked With Self-loathing And Terrible, Paralysing Depression.

I Have A Lot Of Very Close Girlfriends And Sisters - I'm From An All Female Family. My Father Often Quips That Even The Cat Was Neutered!

No, I Like Being A Role Model Because I Know How Much Comfort My Musical Idols Brought Me.

Here Am I. I'm 38. My Career's Probably Never Been Better. And I've Made A Decision Which May Or May Not Impact On It - I Refuse To Hide My Experience And My Age, As If It's Something I Should Be Ashamed Of. I'm Alive. I Know Lots Of People Who've Never Been Lucky Enough To Get To This Stage In Their Life. And I'm Not Gonna Hide It For Anybody.
