They never were planning to be here. All my family are going to London because they wanted to go to the big one. There was never any showdown - there wouldnt be.

I'm curvy and wholesome.

I am at that age when former child stars go off the rails.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating.

When I try to get work in the US all they say is that I need to lose weight - but I bet they never said that to Mae West.

I think there is a shadow network where everybody has infiltrated in terms of hotel concierges, restaurants, will tip off journalists or paparazzi, the airlines, everywhere.

I can't stand Bob Dylan.

I can't believe there's a website which counts down until I'm legal. It is quite sick and perverted when you think about it. These people must have a lot of time on their hands.

I love being in America.

I don't want to go too far away from what I'm doing now because that would alienate my audience.

It was quite strange, because it's quite different from singing, although it's quite natural because you're used to performing or acting on stage.

There's a part of me that thinks perhaps we go on existing in a place even after we've left it.

Obviously it’s hard for anyone to imagine, but these dance halls were powder kegs just waiting to erupt. Names were made and reputations were enhanced or blown in a flash!

Many comedians - both male and female - do have an "I will never date another comedian" rule.

Life is the movie you see through your own eyes.

The kundalini energy is often compared to a snake that is coiled up. Because it is coiled up it can spring very quickly. It can jump and extend itself very far.

Personally as a rider, I find the helmet distracts me. I can't hear as well and I can't see as well. I also believe loud pipes save lives and my pipes straight through with no baffles in them.

Jeanne Moreau, Lauren Bacall, they had this unconventional beauty, this amazing charisma.

I don't like definitions. I like four-hour movies.

Wind is caused by the trees waving their branches.

This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, . . . This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land.
