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

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

I am obsessed with the whole Victoriana thing, the whole Jack the Ripper London era, the grayness of it, the haunted feeling of it, all ancient and bloody.

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.

I'm a choir girl gone horribly, desperately wrong.

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