- Toyah has successfully combined acting and singing for 40 years to critical acclaim. This year The Telegraph called her "absolutely brilliant!" in her latest film role as Barbara in Steve Oram's Aaaaaaaah! (2015). She has a passion for independent film and experimentation, having been a muse of the late director Derek Jarman. Toyah has always balanced her acting/TV work with a career as a rock singer. The band called "Toyah" were very successful, particularly in the UK, in the early 1980s. Toyah's unique voice, musical style, and personality contributed to her being voted Best Female Singer at the 1983 British Rock and Pop awards.- IMDb mini biography by: Andy Brown <andy_r_brown@hotmail.com>

- Relationships are about give and take, living in the moment, listening and adoring each other's qualities. [Husband] Robert [Fripp] is going into the next stage of his life. He is getting hairy and grey, and his bones ache, and I love him for it. He might be a bit creaky in the morning but he makes my knees go weak.
- I think Freddie [Freddie Mercury] was a huge loss for the music industry.
- [on Freddie Mercury] It was "Wow". OK, you can wear those clothes, you can wear those suits if you are as good as that. It was just a revelation.
- [on Queen at Live Aid] From then on, whenever you see a live stadium gig, the audience can't wait to participate.
