Kate Atkinson

Ego, Mean, Happen

Poetry, America, Dream

When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, 'This ain't going to last,' so I worked myself half to death. I learnt from that and I like to pace myself now.
Adam Ant

Else, Whatever, Last

Good, Living, Again
