The NHS is a bit iffy when you sprain an ankle, but when it's a high-priority issue, it's fantastic. They don't mess about. They're incredibly efficient when things go wrong.

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.

It's hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you're younger.

I'm the messiest person I know.

Now when I say Sophie Ellis-Bextor I feel that's not really me because that's become this entity from doing the gigs and the shows and the make-up contracts and whatever else.

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 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.
