Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I’ve made an effort.
I dread the idea of a paparazzi snapping me while I’m out running.
I really hate bureaucracy and the idea that I’m not a free person.
I think everybody should focus on inner beauty.
Adele’s like a beacon of honesty. Doesn’t compromise, goes to America and she’s still the same sweary cockney.
Cinema affects everything, from the way I get dressed to how I build my stages.
Compared to a lot of artists, I’m usually quite covered up in videos and photo shoots.
Curvy is something to be proud of.
I’m so used to changing time zones that I can sleep at any time. I’m rarely ever tossing and turning – if I am, it’s really a big deal.
I’m the type of person who, if somebody offers me a free meal, I get excited because you never know where your next free meal is going to come from.
My mum came from nothing and didn’t have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.
We all get old, but I always say the skinny, pretty girls will be screwed.
I agree with cosmetic surgery for medical reasons – my mother had breast cancer and I think it’s very sad when somebody has no choice in what happens to their body.
I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There’s something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I’d love to have that legacy.
My mum’s always on at me to have children and blames ‘that stupid stage thing you do’ for me not already having a family.
I mean, my music career and my acting career – if I want to do them to the extent that I eventually do want to get to, it’s going to be a bit of a balancing act. But I’m hoping they’ll just go hand in hand.
I think I’d be a million times more successful and more iconic if I was a singer in the ’40s. I’d be allowed a level of mystery, and I think I’d suit that decade.
I think initially, the record industry struggled a lot with digital media because there are a lot of aspects to it that can potentially destroy our industry.
My favourite authors are Milan Kundera and Jeanette Winterson.
I think that there should be options available, quite early on, that if someone is recognised as a disruptive child, for them to be trained vocationally. Maybe if those kids were given the option to learn how to contribute to society on a practical level they wouldn’t get into trouble.
