PALOMA FAITHCinema affects everything, from the way I get dressed to how I build my stages.
PALOMA FAITHWhen I do my shows, it’s really cross-generational. Sometimes there’s three generations there.
PALOMA FAITHMy desire to experiment comes from my attention-deficit approach to cosmetics. I just get really bored, really easily.
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 FAITHI like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.
PALOMA FAITHI’m not interested in what other people are doing. That’s their business.
PALOMA FAITHI think soul is soul. I don’t see new soul as any different to old soul.
PALOMA FAITHI’m really into food; it’s one of my favourite things – everything from potato waffles to lobster.
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 feel quite fearless protecting the people I love.
PALOMA FAITHI just really want to make albums – and however I can, I will.
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 believe in life you need to always ask for everything politely and nicely, and then if they say no you do what you wanted to do anyway

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 FAITHSome men think that if you’re empowered and sure of yourself then you’re a man-hater, but it’s like, ‘No, I’m just the same as you are, but maybe just a tiny bit more confident.’
