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?

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

I tasted huge success with my first album, and when it's happening it feels like a roller coaster you can't get off. You should be very careful about wishing for success on that scale.

But I don't like working on lyrics publicly in the studio - I prefer to take them away and work on them in my bedroom.

You learn that, when your children are all right, everything is right in the world.

I'm the messiest person I know.

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.
