A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.

I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping, but they might see the most amazing outfit and think, 'When am I going to wear that?', so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.

It's funny how intimate it feels to get a text.

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 a little bit allergic to the whole brand thing to be honest but maybe it's just happening around me and I'm not really aware of it.

I've got quite a curvy shape so I try to wear stuff that's tailored.

I'm a sucker for good black skirts and pretty little shirts and kooky tops. I have to admit that shopping satisfies my craving for immediate gratification.
