I travel regularly and have learnt to be very methodical as far as packing is concerned. For example, I always check the weather in advance of where I’m going to ensure that I’ve packed the right clothes.
I feel quite fearless protecting the people I love.
I don’t have a competitive bone in my body, so the last thing I want to do is be competing with people.
I don’t have a daily routine, beyond brushing my teeth. It changes every day.
I don’t normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.
I don’t understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have.
I just really want to make albums – and however I can, I will.
I lend people money, but I’d never lend something that would jeopardise a friendship if I didn’t get it back.
I like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.
Celebrity culture is an aspirational culture regardless of how much you don’t want it to be.
I love Andre 3000 from OutKast. I think we’d complement each other, but I’m hoping he’s got a good sense of humour.
I try to stick to a certain diet all the time, and then when I feel like a reward, I have it. I try to stick to no dairy, no sugar, no wheat.
I’d say that, first and foremost, I’m a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.
I’m really into food; it’s one of my favourite things – everything from potato waffles to lobster.
I don’t connect much with the present. I have more of an affinity for what came in the past.
I am inspired by show girls and Vegas. I was a cabaret performer, so that’s where all that influence comes from.
If I see something that inspires me, I’ll dress like it.
It’s amazing living alone. I’m very lucky. It’s like a refuge.
I’m surrounded by friends and family who are not that impressed by celebrity. They don’t have any problem telling me I’m acting like an idiot or I’m not that funny.
All creative people have to have vulnerability because those nuances are what move people. So I’m deeply insecure – but I’m good at hiding it.
