I do find it a bit disconcerting when your name becomes a brand.

You should make an effort on stage because it's a performance. The stage should be glittery and camp, but I don't go down the shops in full stage gear.

A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.

When it comes to my family I never quite know how protective I have to be, or what I should or shouldn't say.

When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it's a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?

I was an only child, but then my parents resettled with different partners, and I am now one of six.

A good song is a good song whatever your age.
