I mean, the thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.

I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to. But it was just filling up my day with hatred.

I wouldn’t be able to write a song like “Someone Like You” and get someone else to sing it because it’s so personal. It’s like giving away your heart.

I am quite loud and bolshie. I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.

You have to prioritize what you stress about when you have a child.

I enjoy being me; I always have done. I've seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and it wears them down. And I don't want that in my life. It's never been an issue - at least, I've never hung out with the sort of horrible people who would make it an issue. I have insecurities, of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.
