Bananarama were written off from day one. Nobody believed in us but us. We kept having hits despite the record company, despite the press.

Being a woman is really crap.

Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.

Fashion goes round in circles.

I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.
Siobhan Fahey

I can't remember what the last film I saw was, as I can't smoke or drink in cinemas.
Siobhan Fahey

I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.
Siobhan Fahey

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.
Siobhan Fahey

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
Siobhan Fahey

I have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music. It's my fascination, my ongoing passion.
Siobhan Fahey

I just can't seem to write songs about peace and love. Yeah right, how do you get that?
Siobhan Fahey

I love to sing old Motown songs to myself, or some Patti Smith Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. That gets me in the mood for singing.
Siobhan Fahey

I never belonged anywhere. I just felt like a creature from another planet.
Siobhan Fahey

I really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.
Siobhan Fahey

I watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking.
Siobhan Fahey

I'm a crap guitarist and I find it really hard writing on my own.
Siobhan Fahey

I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.
Siobhan Fahey

I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.
Siobhan Fahey

I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.
Siobhan Fahey

I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
