“Whatever you are, you have the right to get married.”

I don’t overthink when I’m styling. I kind of forgive myself and accept that I will make mistakes. Getting dressed should be a fun experience!

I really like to please people, and I think it’s a symptom of being an only child.

I feel curious about every situation I’m in.

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 lend people money, but I’d never lend something that would jeopardise a friendship if I didn’t get it back.

Cinema affects everything, from the way I get dressed to how I build my stages.

I vote Labour and can’t begin to acknowledge anything good that comes from a Tory.

I’m surrounded by friends and family who are not that impressed by celebrity. They don’t have any problem telling me I’m acting like an idiot or I’m not that funny.

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.

I try not to brand myself ‘weird’ any more because it sticks.

My favourite authors are Milan Kundera and Jeanette Winterson.

Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I’ve made an effort.

I don’t have a daily routine, beyond brushing my teeth. It changes every day.

I just have an inability to lie.

We all get old, but I always say the skinny, pretty girls will be screwed.

I think initially, the record industry struggled a lot with digital media because there are a lot of aspects to it that can potentially destroy our industry.

When a man says to me, ‘Let us work together in the great cause you have undertaken, and let me be your companion and aid, for I admire you more than I have ever admired any other woman,’ then I shall say, ‘I am yours truly’; but he must ask me to be his equal, not his slave.

Man’s best possession is a sympathetic wife.

If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

Marriage is a gamble, let’s be honest.

Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

To be wedded to an idea may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages.

Take my hand, take my whole life, too.
