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'm a sucker for good black skirts and pretty little shirts and kooky tops. I have to admit that shopping satisfies my craving for immediate gratification.

Yes, being educated is definitely an advantage. But having said that, I've met so many people in life who haven't done very well at school but who are still really bright.

I've got a thing for footwear; I have about 200 pairs of shoes from all over the world.

On my wedding day. I didn't want a natural, blushing-bride look - I had a full-on hairdo and red lips. I thought it would be disingenuous to do the whole virginal look, so even though I had the white dress, I had pink net underneath.

Dance music is great, but it's not a time to be reflective or particularly wistful.

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