Before every show, I have to put perfume on. I know the crowd's not necessarily going to smell me, but when I smell good, I feel like I can dominate the room.

I don't get jealous - I get suspicious.

I used to do ballet all the time, and I do this ballet workout: it is an amazing thing called Barrecore. It is like pulsing. It turns your legs into, like, jelly, and you feel like a Bambi; you lose so much control over your body because you're pulsing so much.

I will always love red lips.

Girls have always wanted to be pretty, even in Egyptian times. Cleopatra wore all that eyeliner, you know.

It's nice to always make an effort when you get photographed.

One time I tried to use the bathroom in the dark, and I missed the toilet, and I fell on the floor.

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness.

The worst thing is when a guy just looks awkward. It's not attractive.

I'm a massive fragrance fan - I think fragrance is part of someone's hygiene, and I'm a big believer in leaving an impression through scent.

Women love an honest man. An honest man that isn't afraid to say, 'Men get hurt too.' And a lot of men don't admit that.

I'm often mistaken for Spanish or Latin descent.

You always have to sacrifice something when you want to achieve something.

Eyebrows are really important because they structure the face. In school it was funny because I was always the one walking around with tweezers plucking my girlfriends' eyebrows. I was really good; eyebrow tweezing runs in my family - my mother used to do mine, and I picked it up.

I have always liked the contrast between being blonde and having dark features.

For me, a fragrance is another way of leaving an impression on somebody.

I love eating at my dad's pub, the Queens Arms in Kilburn. It does a traditional Albanian spinach pie.

Know yourself; keep your circle tight. Keep your friends and your work circle tight.

The best thing Jay-Z ever taught me was patience.

I don't feel like myself without the red lip. I feel like I'm taking a risk or something without it.

'Glamour's always special to me; they gave me one of my first U.K. covers, and I was so excited when I found out I got a cover for it, so, I always, always have a special place in my heart for 'Glamour.'

I think I've always been fine on stage - though I get nervous beforehand. But once I'm on stage, all of that goes out of the window.

Women love an honest man.

I have a few properties, some in the U.K., some in the States, some in Kosovo. It's a nice little empire - I'm trying to create something so my family can be all right.
