Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.

For every person that says I'm the new Audrey Hepburn, someone else says that I look like an alien.

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

In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear.

Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it's not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.

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.

Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.
