I don't think men are the enemy. I think women are the enemy.
I've actually broken up with boyfriends for inspiration.
I love MySpace; it's done an amazing job for me and it's been insane over the past couple of weeks, but I'm not a poster girl for them.
Sometimes I wish I was just a girl in an indie band. I could dance around on stage and it wouldn't be so much about me.
I'm really convinced I`m not talented at all, and I'm sure that people are just about to figure that out.
I don't really like the way that journalism works in the UK anyway; it's all about getting the most shocking thing out of somebody and kind of twisting people's words, which isn't really journalism, as far as I'm concerned.
I don't care what people think of me now, so why would I care when I'm dead?
When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and walk away. It's pretty mean but it's true.
I like to be able to get up and go and buy a pint of milk without bumping into 20 people I know.
