PALOMA FAITHI don’t understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have.
PALOMA FAITHNo one ever chats me up; I think they all think I’m taken. Either that or no one fancies me.
PALOMA FAITHIf I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won’t do a photo because I wouldn’t want any photographic evidence.
PALOMA FAITHMy mum’s always on at me to have children and blames ‘that stupid stage thing you do’ for me not already having a family.
PALOMA FAITHMy favourite authors are Milan Kundera and Jeanette Winterson.

PALOMA FAITHI really like to please people, and I think it’s a symptom of being an only child.
PALOMA FAITHI think I’d be a million times more successful and more iconic if I was a singer in the 40s. I’d be allowed a level of mystery and I think I’d suit that decade.
PALOMA FAITHI don’t have a competitive bone in my body, so the last thing I want to do is be competing with people.

PALOMA FAITHI’m really into food; it’s one of my favourite things – everything from potato waffles to lobster.
PALOMA FAITHI don’t have a daily routine, beyond brushing my teeth. It changes every day.
PALOMA FAITHI 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.
PALOMA FAITHIt’s tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, ‘Oh, look, another quirky girl.’
