I'd say that, first and foremost, I'm a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.

I'm proud of being British, but I think our aristocracy is overrated.

No one ever chats me up; I think they all think I'm taken. Either that or no one fancies me.

Anybody who says they don't want to be seen on a show which has millions of people watching it at one time when they're in the business of selling records is a bit silly.

I try to stick to a certain diet all the time, and then when I feel like a reward, I have it. I try to stick to no dairy, no sugar, no wheat.

When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.

My mum's always on at me to have children and blames 'that stupid stage thing you do' for me not already having a family.
