I like sparkles; I think I'm a magpie.
I'd say that, first and foremost, I'm a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.
I'm not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I'm on holiday. I do enough shopping when I'm at home, and like to have a complete break when I'm away.
I don't normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.
I travel regularly and have learnt to be very methodical as far as packing is concerned. For example, I always check the weather in advance of where I'm going to ensure that I've packed the right clothes.
I feel curious about every situation I'm in.
When I do my shows, it's really cross-generational. Sometimes there's three generations there.
I love going to the cinema. Whenever I get time off, that's where I go.
I try not to brand myself 'weird' any more because it sticks.
I love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.
When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.
I'm under no illusion that there are things about me that I'd like to change. I just accept who I am, and I'm proud of it.
I dread the idea of a paparazzi snapping me while I'm out running.
I try to stick to a certain diet all the time, and then when I feel like a reward, I have it. I try to stick to no dairy, no sugar, no wheat.
Some men think that if you're empowered and sure of yourself then you're a man-hater, but it's like, 'No, I'm just the same as you are, but maybe just a tiny bit more confident.'
I'm so used to changing time zones that I can sleep at any time. I'm rarely ever tossing and turning - if I am, it's really a big deal.
The freedom that money gives you makes you... well, I wouldn't say happy, but I'd say it gives you diversity.
I use debit cards for everyday purchases, as I don't believe in credit cards. But this has caused problems, especially with American touring, because I refuse to have a credit card - and in America you can't pay for anything on a debit card.
Anybody who says they don't want to be seen on a show which has millions of people watching it at one time when they're in the business of selling records is a bit silly.
I've spent a lot of time being bohemian and sleeping on floors, but eventually I want to have kids and I want to bring them up in a secure environment.
