It’s funny how intimate it feels to get a text.
That’s part of the reason I called the album ‘Shoot From The Hip.’ I did feel it was time to open up more.
I do find it a bit disconcerting when your name becomes a brand.
I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I’m more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.
Getting up to dance to your own stuff looks pretty pretentious. And leaving the dancefloor when it comes on is just awkward.
When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it’s a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?
I don’t think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.
You should make an effort on stage because it’s a performance. The stage should be glittery and camp, but I don’t go down the shops in full stage gear.
I don’t want to sound like an old grandmother but actually it’s quite nice when you get up early and then, by the time it gets to 10am, you’re quite perky and already quite switched on.
In real life, I’m not super-posh but if that’s the stereotype, I really don’t care. It could be worse.
I’m a sucker for sad disco pop.
My parents are good role models because they’ve worked hard and gave me a happy childhood.
I get really frustrated if people don’t smile.
I try not to wear anything I have to fidget with – there’s nothing worse than wearing something and pulling down the hem and re-adjusting the top. My pet hate is when girls wear those strapless dresses and spend the whole night yanking them up.
I try my hardest not to read reviews.
I’d never really thought about it before, but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.
My little boy Sonny makes me laugh all the time. He has good comedic timing.
Like my mum, I sometimes buy things I shouldn’t and fill my house with rubbish.
I was an only child, but then my parents resettled with different partners, and I am now one of six.
I really love being in London at weekends – there’s always so much to do.
