I like to be able to get up and go and buy a pint of milk without bumping into 20 people I know.

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 studied voice when I was at school, and I was in the chamber choir, and I studied music theory as well, so I guess a lot of it came from being taught at school.

Sometimes I wish I was just a girl in an indie band. I could dance around on stage and it wouldn't be so much about me.

I'm opinionated, but I'm not a vindictive person and I never say anything unprovoked, either.

If I could dance like the ladies can, it would have been my arse on your screens.

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.
