Getting paid for being laid, guess that's the name of the game.

It turned out so well because it was the first album that I could identify with in terms of lyrics. ("Captain Fantastic") It was passionate...I could associate myself with every song...It's a unique album in our history. This was the story of us..."Curtains", the lyrics to that are so beautiful because it sums up our friendship so much, and our relationship.

I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8', I hate being short.

Yeah. I have been with David Furnish for eight years, now.

Onstage it was always comfortable for me because that's where I felt at home. Offstage it was a different situation. I was still shy offstage and unfortunately, my shyness and my inability to communicate and really have great conversations or be part of the gang - in inverted commas - led me to the drug addiction, which, you know, blighted my life for 16 years because I thought by doing that it would make me join in.

I can't think of anything until I've got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head.

I had no balance in my life. I was this one person onstage and this person offstage, who really didn't know much about living.
