All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person.

There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.

I try and have a relaxed attitude and stay quite switched off until about an hour before kick-off.

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

There has been a change in attitude, though.
