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

I don't think anyone doubts my motives, really. I do what I do and it's not very complicated. Of course, you might hate the music that I make, but I don't think people feel threatened by me just getting on with what I'm up to.

I'm someone who has always been quite clear about what I like. In the studio, I'm not a control freak but I know what I want.

I really love being in London at weekends - there's always so much to do.

But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven't been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don't take as much notice of you, it's really quite palpable.

I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.
