You feel a sense of elation seeing yourself on a billboard.

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.

I feel quite fearless protecting the people I love.

I was once in a long relationship with a man who ran a vintage clothes store but had been a chef, so I'd come home each night to a different three-course meal. I was quite fat, but so happy.

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

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.

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.
