I don't see myself as a role model; people should look to mothers and sisters as role models.

I think as long as you're not being malicious and you're not hurting people then you should not be ashamed of what you do.

People in this day and age are still under the illusion that every woman who is successful must be being controlled by a man... I'm the boss.

I always wanted to do music but never really had the confidence to do it until my first manager George Lamb, who I met out in Ibiza, encouraged me.

Being on the road, the Internet enables me to interact with people in some way. It's not so much interacting with my fans - it's about doing something with what I have. I have my camera and I have my computer, and if I have some spare time, rather than watching some mindless bullshit pop-idol program on TV, why not show people my pictures and try and discuss things that I feel are important?

I wasn't into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I'd go to all the rehearsals, and then I'd pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school.

I don't think men are the enemy. I think women are the enemy.
