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.
PALOMA FAITHMy mum came from nothing and didn’t have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.
PALOMA FAITHWe all get old, but I always say the skinny, pretty girls will be screwed.
PALOMA FAITHI like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.
PALOMA FAITHIt’s tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, ‘Oh, look, another quirky girl.’
PALOMA FAITHI’m not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.
PALOMA FAITHAnybody 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.
PALOMA FAITHI am inspired by show girls and Vegas. I was a cabaret performer, so that’s where all that influence comes from.
PALOMA FAITHI lend people money, but I’d never lend something that would jeopardise a friendship if I didn’t get it back.
PALOMA FAITHI try not to brand myself ‘weird’ any more because it sticks.
PALOMA FAITHWe live in a society where everything’s packaged.
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’d say that, first and foremost, I’m a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.
PALOMA FAITHI’m very affected by what I watch and read.
PALOMA FAITHI vote Labour and can’t begin to acknowledge anything good that comes from a Tory.
PALOMA FAITHMy desire to experiment comes from my attention-deficit approach to cosmetics. I just get really bored, really easily.
PALOMA FAITHI really hate bureaucracy and the idea that I’m not a free person.
