M: You experimented with a lot of musical styles. What"s next?
W: It"s hard to say where I"m going next, because my next record isn"t finished.
M: You used to go to acting classes before you got into music. Did you ever consider becoming an actress?
W: That"s what I wanted to do initially. I left school and joined a traveling theater company. We didn"t have money for hotels. So we used to camp in parks. It was brilliant. Then I met William.
