I'm too frightened of confrontation, so I will always tip - even if the service has been really shoddy.
I do find it a bit disconcerting when your name becomes a brand.
I'm all for consumer rights. I get very aggravated if I don't get a good service.
I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping, but they might see the most amazing outfit and think, 'When am I going to wear that?', so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.
In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear.
My little boy Sonny makes me laugh all the time. He has good comedic timing.
Turning the thermostat down is something that I do pretty reluctantly. I like to be able to walk around in whatever I fancy at home.
Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it's not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.
I try my hardest not to read reviews.
A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.
I think I'm fairly good with money, but I've developed some strange tics - in shops I don't like to go to the counter unless I've got at least two things to buy. If I'm walking around with just one thing in my hand I'll put it back and wait a few weeks because that doesn't seem like a proper purchase.
Dance music is great, but it's not a time to be reflective or particularly wistful.
I don't want to sound like an old grandmother but actually it's quite nice when you get up early and then, by the time it gets to 10am, you're quite perky and already quite switched on.
I had my autograph down by the age of 13. I used to sign it everywhere.
In real life, I'm not super-posh but if that's the stereotype, I really don't care. It could be worse.
I'm a sucker for good black skirts and pretty little shirts and kooky tops. I have to admit that shopping satisfies my craving for immediate gratification.
It's hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you're younger.
I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.
I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.
But I don't like working on lyrics publicly in the studio - I prefer to take them away and work on them in my bedroom.
