Musician

We've never been good at long-term plans.

But you're not really emotionally mature in your 20s. Well, we weren't. You don't say anything, you just bottle it up and then it builds up.

We were expected to smile and be flirty to everyone. But we acted more like a male rock band. We never mastered the niceties. We were more interested in having a good time.

We never came into the business with a plan beyond the next three months. It's all been a natural thing for us to go off and travel and then maybe record an album.

I don't really get that, when groups tour together or even do anything together when they hate each other.

I was very aware as a young mum that I had to be there and not go off the rails. I would go clubbing, then come home and make breakfast for the baby.

You can be normal if you choose to be.

We lived at the Sex Pistols' house because we were asked to vacate our room at the YWCA for 'keeping late hours.'

I might have been told to put a comb through my hair once or twice - by my mother!

I can't even compare ourselves with the Supremes. I adore the Supremes! I can't set myself up as comparison to people I'm in awe of.

When you're in a band it's a 24/7 thing. If you don't get on or like each other things will fall apart very quickly, which is what it seems happened with Fifth Harmony.

Everyone we knew was forming a band. Boy George, Wham! Sade. But it wasn't a big deal, they were our friends. It wasn't like we were hanging out with pop stars.

When we go out, we do enjoy ourselves. We don't worry about whether or not people will recognize us.

When Siobhan left, we never fell out or had a huge argument. She just wanted to move to America and do something different.

The first time I got recognized in the Sates, it was by Mike Tyson. He sang 'Cruel Summer' at us as we were walking out of the hotel to go to the beach.

We used to do 'Venus' live for a long time but never got 'round to recording it because people would always say it's too old-fashioned a song.

Women shouldn't have to apologise for their age or growing old. It is just inevitable.

I'm not worried about wrinkles on my cheeks, or going grey. I'm not trying to be 20.

The amount of women we've met that say that we were an inspiration to them growing up, has always been one of the best things about being in the band.

Most of the people we worked with were men. And the women were secretaries.
