mother divorce parent
My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.
book school boys
Philately is normally a boys' hobby but for some reason it was in vogue at my junior school. Between the ages of eight and ten I collected avidly. I'd pore over my Stanley Gibbons book, obsessively checking my collection's value. I always hoped I'd stumble across a really valuable one, a Penny Black or an Inverted Jenny, but it wasn't to be.
lying thinking people
There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.
girl hate night
I try not to wear anything I have to fidget with - there's nothing worse than wearing something and pulling down the hem and re-adjusting the top. My pet hate is when girls wear those strapless dresses and spend the whole night yanking them up.
thinking feelings watches
There's so many singers, you watch them and a lot of it is waving around. You don't get this feeling that they're really thinking about what they're saying.
people frustrated ifs
I get really frustrated if people don't smile.
shoes clothes labels
Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.
looks aliens audrey
For every person that says I'm the new Audrey Hepburn, someone else says that I look like an alien.
successful firsts albums
Having a successful first album is one thing, but a successful third is another.
intimate feels
It's funny how intimate it feels to get a text.
weekend love-is london
I really love being in London at weekends - there's always so much to do.
rights aggravated good-service
I'm all for consumer rights. I get very aggravated if I don't get a good service.
pjs records harvey
I would love to record something with PJ Harvey or Alison Goldfrapp.
dad thinking shopping
I can definitely tell when mum has got money because then she likes to go shopping to spend it, whereas dad is steadier and avoids splurges. I like to think I've inherited both sides.
