I was born in Bradford, a city in the north of England that God forgot about. A place where most people never leave, but if they do, they certainly never go back.

My grandma told me never, ever, ever to use soap on my face. But I do use lotion.

My dad went to jail for a long time. We lost everything, and the situation never resolved itself. My parents had this sort of passionate, disastrous desire for each other - not ideal to grow up in.

I love Audrey Hepburn, early Brooke Shields, and Madonnas eyebrows. I think its beautiful if women look soft and touchable instead of hard, sharp and aggressively groomed.

I don't believe in fairy tales, but I believe in you and me

I don't listen to music, actually. Obviously I go to clubs; I stand in elevators; a lot of my friends are musicians; I hear music all the time. But I don't have my own collection of music.

I always put on a brave face when I was the most terrified, the most trapped and out of control.
