(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Debbie Harry has started protecting her voice rather than just "fudging along".

The star is the frontwoman of Blondie, whose new album Panic of Girls is out this month. Debbie is now 65 but her voice is as clear as ever and she still manages to hit the high notes she's famed for. She explained she's gone to great lengths to ensure her vocals haven't deteriorated as she's got older.

"I do my fair share of shouting, but we lower the key," she joked. "I've been practicing. I got to a point where I was interested in studying and learning how to do it as opposed to just fudging along. I do protect it [my voice]."

Debbie is keen for people to embrace life and give it their all. She believes it's important to live exactly as you want and to "take responsibility" for your own happiness rather than relying on someone, or something, to fulfil you.

"I think having faith is an important thing but I also think having faith in yourself is the ultimate," she told UK TV show Loose Women. "Throwing your faith away to something that may or may not exist is a lot of responsibility. Once you really take responsibility for your life and who you are that's the ultimate and the best thing."
