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.

People think stage school is a little star factory but the truth is kids like me learned about being in a team situation and going out to work earlier than a lot of kids did. I don't know anyone from drama school who's now sitting on their arse doing nothing.

I'm not a natural born performer.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.

No. No. I don't listen to anyone except my ... inner child anyway. If someone had said to me, Amy, lose a stone which they wouldn't - I don't think I would have listened anyway.

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

I've never been a boyfriend kind of girl.
