Whenever I've collaborated with anyone in the past it's just happened really, I've never actively sought it out.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I used to hate touring, I used to absolutely hate it! I think one of the reasons why was because in between songs I found it difficult to talk to the audience, and now I don't care, I say what I want!
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
Falling in love is an absolutely beautiful thing to go through, and why people shouldn't talk about it is beyond me.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I knew I'd made it when I was sitting on the bus into Rochdale and there was an old man listening to one of my songs. It was fantastic.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
To me to singing is like a freedom. It's a very therapeutic thing. It's incredible. I can just lose myself. It's sort of like meditation.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
My mum used to listen to Motown. Diana Ross was my first singing teacher, really. I'd just sing along all the time.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
It's like, if someone asks me to do something and it seems like a really exciting project, but I maybe really frightened about it, nine times out of then I'll say yes imminently because then I can worry after I've said yes!
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
That was one thing about my life and everything I've done really, it's like I've been on a diving board scared out of my life and someone just keeps pushing me!
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
It's always been the same from a long time ago, it's people with promises and people dangling carrots and when you're young and impressionable, and ambitious, you want to believe them. I was always lucky because there was always part of me that didn't believe these people.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
You can make a whole album on your telephone, you can make an amazing video too!
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
You have to say no to a lot of people and when a lot of people are telling you what you're doing is a bit rubbish you just have to have the courage to say 'no it isn't' and believe in it.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I do admire a lot of artists now who are completely multi-faceted - they're doing seven different jobs all at once and it doesn't seem to faze them whatsoever. It just astonishes me completely and I have nothing but admiration for them.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
You can't have artistic freedom if you have to think about seven different aspects of your own job all the time. It must be very, very exhausting.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
People say to me about my music 'it got me through college, it saved my marriage, it helped me to come out.' It's wonderful to be part of someone's life in a big way.'
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I don't want to do something just to be on TV. If I did I might as well just go on and put a meat pie on my head! If I go on TV I want to be doing something I want to do.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I don't watch 'The X Factor,' I don't watch 'The Voice,' so I wouldn't want to do them.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I really don't have an interest in it and people think I'm a freak because I'm not obsessed by 'Strictly Come Dancing' but it just doesn't appeal to me. I'm really sorry but I can't get into it. You get treated like a complete pariah if you don't like things like that!
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
It's quite amazing how obsessed everyone is by 'Strictly Come Dancing.' I don't watch it so I don't know anything about it.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
Deeper' feels like we did when we made the first few albums. It's got that excitement. It felt like a voyage of discovery.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I like to keep everyone happy. I feel like it's my responsibility to do that.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
A really happy kid. I would go off on my own a lot and live in my imagination. When I got my school report back it always said, 'Lisa should try a little harder because she always seems to be in a different world from everyone else.'
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
Some women can go 12 cycles of IVF and not have a problem. They love babies. They want to have a baby - it's all encompassing. I did it just three times and then I was out. I realised that I didn't want a child.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
You know that something is good but you never really know how good. You always underestimate how much of an impact something is going to have.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
When I make an album I love to spend a long time making it and put my heart and soul into it.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
There was a period in music that didn't suit what I did. I didn't fit in.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I like to tinkle at my piano when I'm working out a new song - I just put my fingers down and see what comes out.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I think women were just accepted more as songwriters when they sat on a stool with a guitar and had scruffy hair. It was quite insulting really, because it was like saying that if you're pretty and slim and glamorous there's no way anything could be going on between your ears, you just like doing your makeup.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
That's a part of human nature that men and women, women and women, whatever your sexuality, you flirt with each other and it's completely harmless and it doesn't really mean it crosses a line... You can tell where it is.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I was fortunate enough to meet Aretha Franklin but I was so overwhelmed that I just burst out crying.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I've always said that when people start saying, 'Oh my God, why doesn't this woman put down her bagpipes?' then I will. I just don't ever want to become like Cliff Richard.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
We were working class, but my mother stopped working at the mill when she married my father and he went on to become an electrical engineer and later a draughtsman. So although we were never rich he was bringing in enough money to be able to splash out occasionally.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
Working class people vote Tory because they think it makes them look a bit posh.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
I was happy to carry on without children because I was completely immersed in my work and my career. I only heard the clock ticking in my late 30s, and when my mother Marion died the year I turned 40 it hit me with such a force that we ended up having IVF, which turned out to be unsuccessful.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
She used to drive me to clubs for engagements and when I was 16 I got a job presenting a TV show in Newcastle. My mum didn't really like driving, but she carried on. Once I remember we got stuck in a snow storm, but she carried on to get me there in time. She was an amazing, incredible person.
Quote by -Lisa Stansfield
People compliment me and if I ignore them, it doesn't mean I'm rude. It just means I'm embarrassed.
