I like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.

My denim jacket had 'I love GNR' and 'I love AC/DC' written all over it, but I always came back to swing.

I'm under no illusion that there are things about me that I'd like to change. I just accept who I am, and I'm proud of it.

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.

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

I love Andre 3000 from OutKast. I think we'd complement each other, but I'm hoping he's got a good sense of humour.

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.
