The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.

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

I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.

I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom... I don't think that it's healthy.

The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music.

I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

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