I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
I can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well.
To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.
A little bit of anorexia, a little bit of bulimia. I'm not totally OK now but I don't think any woman is.
Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods And now the final frame. Love is a losing game.
If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.
I would love to study guitar or trumpet.
I'm happiest with my family around me.
I'm always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it's really nasty there but it's not.
I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.
I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable.
I'm not a natural born performer.
Yes, I'm still going to misbehave!
