I think of myself as quite a confused kind of person, because I think there's so many great things about the world, but there are so many awful things too. I feel very guilty a lot of the time about enjoying my life so much when there are people living in such misery.
I still think I'm fat. Right now I'm worrying about how I'm going to lose weight after the pregnancy. I feel like an elephant, but I do get the occasional sexy pregnant day where I think I look great.
As for drugs, it annoys me that people think it`s the worst thing in the world compared with, say, not paying your taxes. If you don`t pay tax, you may be stealing from someone who needs an operation. As for me and drugs or alcohol: No thanks, I`m abstaining for a while.
I don't care what people think of me now, so why would I care when I'm dead?
I think as long as you're not being malicious and you're not hurting people then you should not be ashamed of what you do.
I think people just probably don't want people to think that they're vain.
Yes, I met Carl Barat [from Dirty Pretty Things] yesterday when I was at the POPWORLD TV show. He smiled at me and watched 5 minutes of my performance. I don't think I've said anything that bad about anyone, though, to be honest.
I think that education works up to a certain point... I think unless I wanted to be like a nurse, or a doctor, or something that required that kind of knowledge, then education is fine. But I didn't really know what I wanted to do, so I didn't see the point in spending seven more years of my life studying something.
I think I'm like Marmite; you either love me or you hate me.
I think the whole, like, cultural diversity and the arty side of London is really, really great. And how it's so historic as well.
I don't think men are the enemy. I think women are the enemy.
I quite fancy Graham Coxon. I haven't met him yet, though. I'd like to.
In no way do I feel superior to anyone except paedophiles, rapists, murderers, etc.
People in this day and age are still under the illusion that every woman who is successful must be being controlled by a man... I'm the boss.
