I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.

When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

I get in fights with my sister all the time. She comes on the road with me and we fight - like sisters do.

I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.

I try to write lyrics so that they won't age, which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.

Look, if Givenchy is going to lend you a dress, I'm not going to turn it down. I would wear that dress to just go out and buy a pint of milk if they would lend it to me.

I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
