I was so tired, wasn't having fun any more, and wasn't sure if I wanted to do this any longer. So I turned my phone off and sorted my head out. It was the opposite of a breakdown really, it was a break-up - I got rid of all the idiots, realised my job was supposed to be fun, and got on with my life.

I'm obsessed with cleanliness for myself, so I will take a bath three times a day, sometimes a steam twice a day in addition to that.

Talking to celebrities is too much effort. They all think the same.

It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns

I don't mind being cast as some kind of a pantomime baddie, but I am very fair in business. I always have been. I pride myself on being fair.

My advice would be if you want to pursue a career in the music business, don't.

I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.
