No one had much faith in me because I was so young. They imagined a little brat with a flash-in-the-pan single. It was inevitable... Thankfully, I proved people wrong.
People need help, advice and love, not websites telling you how to lose your last pound, or scantily clad, deeply anorexic celebrities parading around flaunting their golden bones.
The more things you own, the more people you need to employ.
There are lots of great movies coming out of the U.S. but it's not something I've ever really been interested in. They're great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental.
I was very similar at 19. I wanted something to happen in life, I wanted a bit more. I wanted to find someone who could challenge my ideas. So I definitely tapped into that.
A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don't have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.
I love fresh flowers for my home. I spend far too much money on them, buying them almost every day.
Weight doesn't matter as long as you're happy with yourself.
Yeah, I fancy women big time... I check them out more than I check men out. Maybe I would want to sleep with a woman... Not Beyonce, although I like the look of her, I don't think she's that dirty.
I was freakishly ambitious. I didn't want to be a child. I wanted my own flat, to work and be a grown up.
I'm reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it's like my little friend - it takes my mind off things.
I think people have common sense and can tell what's real, what's right or what's wrong and work it out.
In the next few years I'd love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her - she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.
Rose and I have gone on the most incredible journey over the past two years
The whole size zero debate is disgusting. My sister, who's 13, looks amazing - but she's already worried about her figure.
Steve Coogan does something for me. He is so naughty, but I quite fancy him.
I now know how to walk around properly in my undies. People would keep telling me to push my tits out! I also now know how to use a whip on people without causing bruising.
I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I'd continued with my education, but that's something I can do in the future.
I'm happy in the UK. I absolutely love it and I've finally got a great group of friends. I've got a lovely little flat and my work's here.
There's not enough money in the world to get me singing 'Because We Want To' again. I wouldn't do it. I think Beyonce Knowles got a couple of million for a private show but I would be happy to turn it down.
I think it must be hard being David [Tennant]. I get a certain level of attention but - I've seen it in action - he can't move for attention.
I see that things are getting made a lot faster for less money and there are a lot less opportunity, I think, for actors. There's not a lot of work in the U.K. I mean, that's why everyone's moving to America because that's where the work seems to be. But it definitely feels like a lot more of a slog to get a gig these days. I suppose that's a lot to do with our current climate and financial messes. I certainly see that people seem to have to work harder with a lot less time.
I would really love to do a musical, I don't know in what capacity but something funny.
I am thinking about those things now. More so than all my friends - they're a lot older than me, but they're not even thinking about babies.
