Quotes

I refuse to put make-up on just because the paparazzi are on my,doorstep. I find it morally wrong.

I like to be able to get up and go and buy a pint of milk without,bumping into 20 people I know.

Yeah, I was a florist. I went to floristry school.

I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and,honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body,shapes by being healthy.

You have to be in love with yourself before anyone else can fall in love,with you; to be happy with yourself.

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 can get on with someone really, really, really well… and if they’re no good at having sex with me, it really upsets me, because I think, “oh God, this is someone I’d really like to spend the rest of my life with, but I cannot face having bad sex for the rest of my life.
