I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.

An announcer is only as good as yesterday's performance.

Bacteria: The only culture some people have.

I know a lot about women and their suffering, but I still know almost nothing about men.

I am trying to create awareness of the true concept of democracy.
