I never wanted to make it too easy for people to sum me up.

I run a lot. If I don't have time to go to the gym or don't have time to work out properly, I will go for a quick run. I think running is a great way to stay fit, and I really concentrate on fitting into a realistic urban lifestyle.

It's not realistic to live in the country at this stage. I've got a business in London. I beat myself up about it all the time.

I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.

At the end of the day I separate things; my life is my life and my work is my work.

For me, singing is the most natural thing in the world. I've grown up with it and I know I've got that gift.
