I've actually broken up with boyfriends for inspiration.

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.

You know what, my new mantra is this: ANT AND DEC. Ant and Dec. I might get their names tattooed on each wrist. Because they smile, and they never complain, and it seems to work for them and I wish I could be more like that.

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'm quite an opinionated person, but I'd never written a diary before. I quite like it!

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?

Because of piracy there has been a massive downturn in people buying music, which makes it more difficult for artists to make money from the sale of records.
