“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.”

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 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’m proud of being British, but I think our aristocracy is overrated.

A car crossed two lanes of traffic, flipped, and landed on my dad’s car. I don’t blame cars. My dad loved cars. I don’t have many memories of my dad. The love of cars is all I have of him, really.

Why then should money be blamed for all the dirt and crimes it causes? For is love less filthy – love which creates life?

When the enemy comes with shame and blame, tell him to go measure the distance from east to west and get back to you.

You can do anything in the world if you say “Hey man, don’t blame me, the devil made me do it. It’s an easy way to escape responsibility.”

You got a lot but you just waste all yourself. They’ll forget your name soon and won’t nobody be to blame but yourself.

My mum came from nothing and didn’t have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.

I’ve only myself to blame for it, my impotence most of all and my weakness. If I do any good work now it will be only by chance.

Be bitter, stay angry, and blame everyone!
