It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'

I really hate bureaucracy and the idea that I'm not a free person.

I've got so many clothes; I can dress in any style.

If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won't do a photo because I wouldn't want any photographic evidence.

Adele's like a beacon of honesty. Doesn't compromise, goes to America and she's still the same sweary cockney.

I'd rather die than let somebody get the better of me.

I use debit cards for everyday purchases, as I don't believe in credit cards. But this has caused problems, especially with American touring, because I refuse to have a credit card - and in America you can't pay for anything on a debit card.
