I'm big in Russia, but no one's quite sure why.
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?
I'm the messiest person I know.
I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.
Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.
I'm really interested in fashion but at the same time I find it quite competitive. Second-hand stuff leaves you more open to whatever your own personal style is rather than feeling dictated to by shops.
In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear.
I'm happy that I have a look, but I don't over-analyse whether or not it's beautiful or ugly.
I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.
I'm too frightened of confrontation, so I will always tip - even if the service has been really shoddy.
Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.
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.
Turning the thermostat down is something that I do pretty reluctantly. I like to be able to walk around in whatever I fancy at home.
I try my hardest not to read reviews.
In real life, I'm not super-posh but if that's the stereotype, I really don't care. It could be worse.
My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.
I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.
You have to apply yourself because you'll never get a better opportunity than the one you have right now. Having said that, people know by now if they like me or not. I don't need to prove anything.
Two premature babies was not a genetic thing; we were just unlucky.
A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.
When it comes to my family I never quite know how protective I have to be, or what I should or shouldn't say.
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.
Also, I think women really come into their own in their 30s.
I'm always sticking up for other people.
I get really frustrated if people don't smile.
