I love to live and I live to love.

I've never been an idiot - I was a smart girl but I'd do stupid things like go around Asda and nick stuff because my friends told me to. I was a good girl as a teenager.

I would say that jazz is my own language.

I've got a crush on my backing singer.

I was expecting it to be cynical because I'm like that myself. I wouldn't want it to be all roses because life isn't like that.

And as a writer, your self-worth is literally based on the last thing you wrote.

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