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 never manage to get to bed early on Sunday night but this doesn’t matter, as I don’t know one level of exhaustion from another.
I tasted huge success with my first album, and when it’s happening it feels like a roller coaster you can’t get off. You should be very careful about wishing for success on that scale.
On my wedding day. I didn’t want a natural, blushing-bride look – I had a full-on hairdo and red lips. I thought it would be disingenuous to do the whole virginal look, so even though I had the white dress, I had pink net underneath.
Some people can get away with being very sexy to men and not looking like a complete cow, but I didn’t think I was in a position where people knew me well enough.
I’m a sucker for good black skirts and pretty little shirts and kooky tops. I have to admit that shopping satisfies my craving for immediate gratification.
A good song is a good song whatever your age.
Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it’s not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.
Yes, being educated is definitely an advantage. But having said that, I’ve met so many people in life who haven’t done very well at school but who are still really bright.
Come rain or shine I walk short distances rather than taking my car.
Someone had my number and they started text-stalking me. I’ve never replied to them. It was tempting to write back, but I resisted.
I’m always sticking up for other people.
Dance music is great, but it’s not a time to be reflective or particularly wistful.
I’ve been DJing a little bit, so you get used to the fact that music sounds brilliant when it’s loud.
Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that’s not really me.
I’m the messiest person I know.
Yeah, I’m not really a morning person.
I don’t think writing or co-writing my songs makes me a better singer, but I haven’t really got an excuse not to do it as I’ve got too many opinions!
Being a chef would be too much hard work.
I didn’t feel so great when I was a teenager, but who does?
I’m someone who has always been quite clear about what I like. In the studio, I’m not a control freak but I know what I want.
