Rebecca Nicholson has a fantastic interview with the mighty Alison Goldfrapp over at The Lipster, and I have to admit, I'm that much more in love with her now.
Alison is quite open in the interview and discussed everything from Duffy's singing talent ("I think she's got an amazing voice but essentially she's been trained to sound and be like that. It wasn't some crazy idea she had. It was a business plan.") to the UK education system ("...you need to have a million exams which probably aren't even related to that anyway. It seems a bit mental,") to the horrible interviews she had to sit through. Alison describes the worst interview she's ever done was at a radio station in France where she was told she wasn't looking like her usual sexy self.
"The bloke was talking to Will about music and eventually turned to me and says [French accent], "So Alison, you are very sexy, very feminine, and today we see you are not." I was like, WHAT? I immediately laid into him and said "What the fuck are you talking about?" There was this panic going on around the room and then he carried on talking to Will about music. I was sitting there fuming. After five minutes of talking to Will about knobs he turned to me again and said, "That's a very pretty dress you have on, Alison". So I was like, right, you're a fucking arsehole, aren't you?"
