song men get-over
I get plenty of, 'Is that song about me?' from men but I just tell them to get over themselves.
years long people
I have a lot of admiration for people who've been in relationships a long time, married for years.
years age four
I'd say that, first and foremost, I'm a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.
eerie want mysterious
I want my shows to be eerie and mysterious.
dies
I'd rather die than let somebody get the better of me.
profound style stuff
I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.
trying sticks brands
I try not to brand myself 'weird' any more because it sticks.
eggs scotch meals
I was mainly raised by a working mum who didn't have much time or inclination for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber.
stupid wish kites
I wish I was more stupid because I'm either completely ecstatic and joyous and absolutely high as a kite or I'm a bit morbid. There's never anything in between.
holiday home shopping
I'm not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I'm on holiday. I do enough shopping when I'm at home, and like to have a complete break when I'm away.
want come-up evidence
If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won't do a photo because I wouldn't want any photographic evidence.
dad eight years
Mum doesn't like it when I mention that Dad's a better cook than her. He was born in Spain and spent eight years in Portugal and is exceptional at lots of cuisines.
song distance writing
When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.
lying inability
I just have an inability to lie.
