I've got quite a curvy shape so I try to wear stuff that's tailored.

I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.

I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping, but they might see the most amazing outfit and think, 'When am I going to wear that?', so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.

That's part of the reason I called the album 'Shoot From The Hip.' I did feel it was time to open up more.

I'm too frightened of confrontation, so I will always tip - even if the service has been really shoddy.

I don't think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.
