Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it's like your body will work against you.

I suffer panic attacks which has made me really conscious about my fitness and I have become addicted to jogging. It might sound odd but a lot of good has come out of it. My fans send letters saying they have taken up jogging because I do it.

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

I find male singers and what they sing about fascinating. It makes me realize how little we know about ourselves and how little I know about myself. It's interesting to see the male perspective.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.

I'd hate it to become style over substance, I'd hate people to start putting me in a magazine article about my style. I don't like dressing up in something I'm not necessarily comfortable in just to make it more of a show. I want the power to come from what I sing about and how I sing.

What people don't understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.
