I like to wear clothes that I will wear when I am an old lady.

I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.

The first album, for better or for worse, was done over from the ages of 17-22, with a couple of different producers. Some of it was recorded in an old swimming pool, some of it was recorded in a synagogue - it kind of was all over the place.

I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear.

On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.

The music is so euphoric,as a way of battling the words. It’s like an exorcism, beating it out with drums, shake this demon out, it’s so visceral because the melancholy has to be drummed out. I can’t let it sit inside me.

If you do something with your whole heart and it's a mistake, you can live with that.
