Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.

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.

I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.

Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

Wearing the correct dress for any occasion is a matter of good manners.

Pride goes before destruction.

Modest humility is beauty's crown.

My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.

If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy.

I'm sure you can even find ménage à trois in medieval tales.

With TV, you don't know, but you can build it as you go and bring some things to life. It's malleable, changeable and flexible.
