My song-writing has always been just about my life - usually my worst moments.

I really can't break away from wearing black and leather!

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.

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.

I feel like all Londoners relate more to New York - L.A. doesn't feel like a 'city' city. It's like a sleepy town.

I definitely like performing to a crowd that's there to see a female hero.
