You know how you either grow up in a Michael Jackson house or a Prince house? For me it was Michael Jackson. I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson or marry him.

I'm lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

I'm such a kid at heart.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.

Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.

Yes, I'm still going to misbehave!

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

I love America, it's a much more permissive place.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

I'm always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it's really nasty there but it's not.

I'm much healthier now.

I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.

I've never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.

I've had everything pierced at some point.

My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.

Women don't try to use me.

I've always been a little homemaker.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
