When I was born, I was born very prematurely so I was very tiny and small. And so, my mom just nicknamed me Pixie, like a little fairy.
I'm not afraid of hard work. I like it! It's the other bit - the not working - I find more problematic. If I'm not busy, I just get antsy. I've been this way since I was a child. Sitting still is like torture for me.
As a kid, I'd watch MTV and think how great it would be to have my own music videos on those shows. Now I turn on MTV and, along the bottom of the screen, it often reads, 'Coming next... Pixie Lott.' That's so strange that I can't even begin to make sense of it.
When I was growing up, I read Britney Spears' and Mariah Carey's biographies. I just wanted to see how they did it because I was so eager to get into the biz.
I like the big smoky eyes look, and I always do my eyes first when I'm putting on my make-up.
I like to mix it up, but I do like a lot of '60s fashion. But I like to make it a bit more edgier, sometimes a bit more rockier, sometimes a bit more classic.
I'm a really bad liar. My mom finds out every time, especially now that she's got Facebook.
I take my inspiration for the song writing from little experiences, not even if I've experienced them myself but say if something has made me sad, I will use that emotion. I just use everyday life and write about it.
I don't do lies!
My two style icons are Edie Sedgwick and Brigitte Bardot.
I've actually been compared to every female singer going from Britney, Christina, Mariah, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, everyone. And they are so different, so I think it's cool that people see me as so many different artistes but I think I'm a little different, yeah.
I like to wear girlie things, but only if I can rock them up with biker boots or a jacket.
When I was younger I was really shy, but I'd always be singing, driving my family crazy. Apparently I was even singing when I was in the cot. That probably didn't sound too good!
I don't really follow any fashions. I just wear what I want to wear each day. I don't care if they clash or not.
I can't imagine ever not making music, making albums, writing songs, doing shows. That's all I really know, and that's all I really do.
Every year since I was very small, my family - Mum, Dad, sister Charlie-Ann and brother Stephen - and I have been holidaying in Carvoeiro in the Algarve, so that has very fond memories for me.
I would really love to go to Thailand as so many people have told me how wonderful it is.
I'm not afraid to use my personal experiences and put them into a song. I think that's when you get the best stuff anyway, when it's real emotion.
We all like music in my family, but I'm the only one who's made it my life.
I don't try to pretend to be what I'm not. I don't feel I need to do anything outrageous.
