If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won't do a photo because I wouldn't want any photographic evidence.

I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.

I think what makes me different from the average Joe is that I feel free to be myself and express myself in the way that I want. If that makes you mad, we're living in a world of dire straits. If anything, it makes you more sane.

The freedom that money gives you makes you... well, I wouldn't say happy, but I'd say it gives you diversity.

I get plenty of, 'Is that song about me?' from men but I just tell them to get over themselves.

I really like to please people, and I think it's a symptom of being an only child.

I enjoy being a girl.
