“The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.”

I’m pretty normal, you know?

I’m into the food in Vegas. I’m willing to go to nice restaurants for sushi and stuff like that.

I definitely like to go out and dance. I’m a big vibe person when it comes to music so a song really has to make me feel a certain way in order for me to fall in love with it.

I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it’s a good process because I love all of my music.

I still have a lot to learn about the business, music, and about myself, it’s exciting.

I’m very boring. I’m a mom. I’m 34 years old.

I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she’s performing, the audience is just in awe of her.

I dress the way I want. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not.

I wish my hair was thicker, and I wish my feet were prettier. My toes are really ugly. I wish my ears were smaller. And my nose could be smaller too.

Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn’t mean I’m naughty.

If you love yourself, it will all work out.

I guess it’s an okay thing to express yourself.

I have always been heavily involved in every album I have ever made. I’m very stubborn when it comes to recording and will only record songs I love, which is why it takes me a long time to make an album.

Performing is my therapy, to become different people onstage.

England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.

My life has always been very speculated, watched, and judged really my whole life.

I earned my famous name.

Large cocktail parties are an infamous technique for ridding yourself of social obligations to people you usually don’t know well or like much, which is such an unpromising beginning that I’ve rarely known one that recovered and turned into a great party.

I’ve always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.

Sometimes it’s frustrating if I’m out with the kids and have to deal with the paparazzi. That comes with it though. But it was fun becoming famous. I mean, I even wanted to one of the kids in FAME when I was growing up.

Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think.

I’m English. Our dentistry is not world famous. But I made sure I got moldings of my old teeth beforehand because I miss them.

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you’re lacking inside, you’ve fulfilled that.

The industry has changed. Two years ago I could tell a company I’ve got Russell Crowe and that would get the film made. Now they’d ask ‘And who’s the girl?’ Just one famous face isn’t enough any more.
