The money has always been wasted on me. I don't care for beautiful things, funnily enough. I am my father's daughter.

I just think that when you've been singing for 30 years, which I have been, you just want to find different things you can do with your voice. It's a constant journey. It's not like any one album that you make is who you are. It just reflects that particular day. Alison Moyet
