All the words are already there when you're singing onstage, it's fantastic. You can lose yourself in what you've created. You're controlling this freedom.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

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

I've always been able to just concoct a melody quite easily - it's just kind of instinct, really. You've got to channel your subconscious.

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

It was a complete dream to work with David LaChapelle. I collected his books as a teenager, and I fantasised that he would direct the video for 'Spectrum' from the moment the song was written. I still can't believe it actually happened, 
and I'm completely overjoyed that he felt such a connection with the song.
