Personal life
In February 2010 she confirmed in an interview with The Sunday Times, Goldfrapp that she was dating film editor Lisa Gunning, but rejected being defined as a lesbian, saying,
- "I think of everything as being about a person and a relationship, and I am in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful person. It just happens to be with a lady... It’s something I’ve thought about for a long time and it concurs with my philosophy on life and sexuality. I don’t think it can or should be pigeonholed. I’ve thought about this since I was a teenager. I’ve always found it claustrophobic to think about having to put things into categories like that. My sexuality is the same as my music and my life. Why does it need a label?"[1]
