I like the influence of the macabre, but I don't believe in ghosts.

I think there's quite a lot of cowardice in music. I don't mind if it goes wrong, I just want to go for it.

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.

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.

The fact that my mother was on television every week while I was young was occasionally awkward, and often frustrating.

Also, I think women really come into their own in their 30s.

I've been DJing a little bit, so you get used to the fact that music sounds brilliant when it's loud.
