“I've never been very good at fitting into boxes.” — Neneh Cherry Quote

“I've never been very good at fitting into boxes.”

“My kids love Ibiza and we feel committed to it because we keep coming back to the same area. People recognise us in shops now and we have a social life here. We cook at home and have friends around.”

“I always found very strong images for my songwriting in New York.”

“Certain events make people come out of their little boxes and become part of the whole.”

“To hone my voice, I read everything, from books to cereal boxes, three times: once for fun, the second time to learn something new about the writing craft, and the third time was to improve that piece.”

“But the most precious research to me came from the paperwork filed on behalf of my grandparents and great-grandfather. The ship's manifest showed that they could read and write. I am still emotional when I look at those boxes checked yes.”
