“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 love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.

If I see something that inspires me, I’ll dress like it.

Anybody who says they don’t want to be seen on a show which has millions of people watching it at one time when they’re in the business of selling records is a bit silly.

There’s nothing better than achieving your goals, whatever they might be.

I 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.

I enjoy being a girl.

I mean, my music career and my acting career – if I want to do them to the extent that I eventually do want to get to, it’s going to be a bit of a balancing act. But I’m hoping they’ll just go hand in hand.

My mum’s always on at me to have children and blames ‘that stupid stage thing you do’ for me not already having a family.

My desire to experiment comes from my attention-deficit approach to cosmetics. I just get really bored, really easily.

If I get in a relationship, it’s always for the long-term; if not, I don’t see the point.

I’m not interested in what other people are doing. That’s their business.

I get to know my regular fans, and they inspire me.

I’m very affected by what I watch and read.

We live in a society where everything’s packaged.

I don’t understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have.

Adele’s like a beacon of honesty. Doesn’t compromise, goes to America and she’s still the same sweary cockney.

I think there’s a difference between a working actor, a movie star and a celebrity. They’re all three different things.

Life is too short to remain unnoticed.

It’s weird that i go to places and have thousands of people waiting for me.

It is important to give talent their due. And if celebrities are struggling with personal and mental health issues, the media should try and emphasize with them, rather than making it difficult for them.

The day I got my first letter from a fan, I felt like I’d been touched by an angel.

It’s cool when fans spend so much time making things for me.

I don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family.

I don’t do things for the response or the controversy. I just live my life.
