I wrote 'Lights' a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with 'Biff' Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn't think it would be a big song for some reason.

I feel quite proud to be an ambassador for women who realize that being fit is better than being skinny.

I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.

The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.

Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I've spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I've always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black.

The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old, with my older sister and younger brother, I knew that he was gone.
