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.
believe issues feminism
You know, my mum's always encouraged me and never made my gender an issue, I guess. She brought me up to believe in equality, as opposed to feminism or sexism - so it just meant that my gender was not relevant to what I was capable of achieving.
lying inability
I just have an inability to lie.
interesting people world
I love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.
downtrodden
I'm not a downtrodden woman. I just won't be.
swings denim jackets
My denim jacket had 'I love GNR' and 'I love AC/DC' written all over it, but I always came back to swing.
mean successful thinking
Anything that's on television as often as someone on 'The X Factor' is what's successful. That doesn't mean that I condone that or think that it's right. To be honest, I'd be the first to say I think it's a shame. But if that's the way it is then that's the way it is.
diversity giving wells
The freedom that money gives you makes you... well, I wouldn't say happy, but I'd say it gives you diversity.
records environment pops
When you're on the pop treadmill, you don't always feel that cool because you have to do things to promote the record that aren't necessarily your environment.
song writing political
I'd love to say that I could write political songs, but I don't feel clued-up enough.
