I wish I was more stupid because I'm either completely ecstatic and joyous and absolutely high as a kite or I'm a bit morbid. There's never anything in between.

I always carry a good lipstick with me, like MAC in Ruby Woo. It has a matt finish, the essence of that vintage glamour look.

I think soul is soul. I don't see new soul as any different to old soul.

I just really want to make albums - and however I can, I will.

I get to know my regular fans, and they inspire me.

I've got so many clothes; I can dress in any style.

I stay true to my lyrics. If I go back and look at them in hindsight, the emotions I had when I wrote them have passed. It feels unjustified to change them.
