The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.

I obviously want to give a healthy body image to my own daughter. I think having good examples, eating properly, that's all one can do - and just be really loving around her. I've tried to give her confidence in who she is. I think she's all right in the confidence department.

I'm much more accepting of myself. A lot of my body issues have naturally settled down.

Being mean about other people isn't on my radar.

Becoming a solo singer is like going from an eau de toilette to a perfume. It's much more intense.

In school nativity plays I was always the bloody little donkey, I was never Mary.

I have never sung a whole song on my own before and I am not the best dancer in the world, but I would rather try and fall than not not try at all.
