I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.

I'm masquerading as an innocent pop star.

I am absolutely not a roll-on-stage kind of girl! I would be totally freaked out if I didn't warm up, and I don't know how other singers do it.

Success, I've come to realise, is fleeting so you shouldn't value it too much.

I felt connected with Madonna from a very young age. I think I share a lot of qualities from her personality. I really respect her.

I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.

I have quite a lot of plastic sunglasses. It's just a nice accessory, it adds a final thing, and it's my favorite way of figuring an outfit.
