Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I've made an effort.

I'm not interested in what other people are doing. That's their business.

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

When I do my shows, it's really cross-generational. Sometimes there's three generations there.

I was mainly raised by a working mum who didn't have much time or inclination for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber.

I am inspired by show girls and Vegas. I was a cabaret performer, so that's where all that influence comes from.

I wasn't really comfortable reading until I was 12.
