I don't think writing or co-writing my songs makes me a better singer, but I haven't really got an excuse not to do it as I've got too many opinions!

There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.

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'm big in Russia, but no one's quite sure why.

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.

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

Someone had my number and they started text-stalking me. I've never replied to them. It was tempting to write back, but I resisted.
