“I'm just an ordinary, walking-down-the-street, mother of two children ...” — Eddi Reader Quote

I'm just an ordinary, walking-down-the-street, mother of two children who sings for her supper.

I decided to build a studio in my house. We built it in my basement kitchen. I had the drummer up by the fish tank. I was in the toilet singing. The bass player was out by the shelves in the living room, and the guitarist was on the couch by the telly.

I have never had a man give me money. I've always been the provider. I have always been the one who went out and earned, and I've never felt unequal in that way.

I've often felt I've been born out of my time, and when I started Fairground Attraction in the 1980s, I wanted to be a 1940s jazz singer.

After my spectacular failures, I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.

No one is ever ordinary.

I want to keep telling stories of ordinary people.

At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.

I am an ordinary woman from a Tamil family.
