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

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.

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

I get really frustrated if people don't smile.

I started my music career at 18 and for a long while I let other people handle my affairs.

I can definitely tell when mum has got money because then she likes to go shopping to spend it, whereas dad is steadier and avoids splurges. I like to think I've inherited both sides.

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?
