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

I think I'd be a million times more successful and more iconic if I was a singer in the 40s. I'd be allowed a level of mystery and I think I'd suit that decade.

My mum came from nothing and didn't have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.

I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There's something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I'd love to have that legacy.

I'm not that materialistic. I like nice clothes and that, but I don't spend lots of money on stuff. I'm not really into TV, I don't have an iPod, I've got a gramophone.

I don't have a daily routine, beyond brushing my teeth. It changes every day.

Mum doesn't like it when I mention that Dad's a better cook than her. He was born in Spain and spent eight years in Portugal and is exceptional at lots of cuisines.
