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

I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn't.

I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you

If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.

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.

It's warts and all in my songs, and I think that's why people can relate to them.

I've always got on better with boys. Most of my friends are boys. Like, if I have children, I want five boys. Boys love their mothers whereas girls can be so mean to each other.
