Sisters come before carpet burns and blisters.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.

I've had everything pierced at some point.

I told Missy [Elliot] I couldn't believe how much she has done as a woman in a male-led arena and that she's an inspiration to me. When I got into the lift back to my room to get changed and go home, I broke down in tears.

I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
