I think I'm like Marmite; you either love me or you hate me.
I think of myself as quite a confused kind of person, because I think there's so many great things about the world, but there are so many awful things too. I feel very guilty a lot of the time about enjoying my life so much when there are people living in such misery.
I'm always going to have an addictive personality.
I think as long as you're not being malicious and you're not hurting people then you should not be ashamed of what you do.
I'm opinionated, but I'm not a vindictive person and I never say anything unprovoked, either.
I like to be able to get up and go and buy a pint of milk without bumping into 20 people I know.
I had my mid-life crisis at 29. I've got my thirties and forties into the back end of my twenties.
I don't really see how any song can not feel contrived if it isn't honest, and how could I write honest songs if I don't write about stuff going on in my life and how I'm feeling?
I don't care what people think of me now, so why would I care when I'm dead?
I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public; it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.
I don't know how much money I've made, don't know how many albums I've sold.
Because of piracy there has been a massive downturn in people buying music, which makes it more difficult for artists to make money from the sale of records.
I was really rubbish at school.
Role models should be people that you know. Like your mum.
I studied voice when I was at school, and I was in the chamber choir, and I studied music theory as well, so I guess a lot of it came from being taught at school.
I think, ever since I started doing well commercially, it's always been like, 'Oh, well, you're only where you are because of your dad, and it must be because of Mark Ronson and Greg Kurstin that you do well.' It's just everyone apart from me is responsible for the songs that I've written selling millions around the world.
Everyone thinks Lily Allen is this brash, bold, funny person. It was all just a bit of a facade and bravado.
I like to travel. I come from a travelling family.
When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in - that's when I realized I had a voice.
I just felt like I couldn't deal with the everyday responsibilities of life, paying bills and all of that. I'm terrible at all of that. So I knew I had to make enough money to pay someone else to deal with all of that.
