1.When you give a lecture you have to really command the audience and you have to keep everyone entertained.

2.Ill send myself in irrational spirals about things I have no control over, like death.

3.My dad really supported me in the early stages of my career and he really helped when I was first signing my deal and it was all really scary. He helped me out when we were first touringhe drove me around in his camper van when we didnt have any money.


4.My mother is practical and my father is fun, hes kind of free spirited and my mother is still fun but she much more down to earth. My mom is a realist and my father is a dreamer. I dont know where that puts me, dreaming in reality I suppose.


5.I got in a lot of trouble from my stepfather for using his duct tape, to tape up my school skirt. So the inside of my skirt was done up with electrical tape. Very short. I always find in daily life, its like, dont you kind of make your own uniforms in a sense. Its really weird.


6.You find yourself sort of conforming to your own uniforms sometimes. Its almost like a safety net. I always find myself wearing the same thing over and over again as if its a uniform. But on stage is where the uniforms dont exist.


7.Everyone sort of thought their familys way of doing things was better and each family felt like their traditions of family were being stomped on by the other. We became sort of household enemies.


8.I really enjoy that we have a big family and at Christmas there are six of us and we irritate the piss out of each other and its funny.


9.I kind of decided to take a year out to see where the music would go and then it started going somewhere so I never went back. I actually really enjoyed art college. I was just bumming around Camberwell where I lived, working at a bar and thought I should start doing something with life so I went to art college. If I hadnt dropped out Id just be graduating.


10.Wheres my heart at? Aw. Um, in my chest. I think its in thereon the right hand side. Sometimes its in my mouth and sometimes I can feel it in my stomach, when I get really nervous. So its pretty physical.


11.Im scared of all kinds of irrational things but theyre more based in reality. Im still scared, Im still kept up at night but it seems like the werewolves and the ghosts have morphed into like fear about the next album or fear about, What did I say last night? or like fear about money.


12.Well I have an American passport, so I can but I dont spend as much time as Id like. But I am back and forth probably once or twice a year, but more now that Im touring.

13.Id just been singing all the time. Id been singing at like my friends club nights and at parties and with improvised bands and at open mics. I guess Id always been singing, I just hadnt really found the right vehicle for it, I suppose.

13.I guess weve got this grand tradition of sort of English eccentrics. Over there youve got artists like Lady Gaga youve got some really out-there artists. Im not ever trying to be deliberately cheeky, I think I maybe havent been molded in a particular way.


14.I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.


15.My musical tastes are very different. Im into all kinds of things. Dance, Soul just everything and anything if it kind of gets me going.


16.Just growing up in London I was looking for new experiences. I was a quite the experimental kid, I had a lot of free reign. And wanting to experience different things.

18.Just growing up in London I was looking for new experiences. I was a quite the experimental kid, I had a lot of free reign. And wanting to experience different things.


19.Maybe growing up in London in general has helped me be more street wise, but then again, I never know where I am. My boyfriend moved here he comes form Bedfordshire and he knows more about the streets of London than I do and Ive lived here my whole life.


20.Living in London doesnt say anything about my directional skills. I guess growing up in London I did grow up quicker, Im not sure how much wiser its made me.

21.I had my American family and I had my English family and my English grandmother was very interested in me performing and singing and shed cry every time she came to see me in a school play and would always make me sing at Christmases.


22.My mother is a lecturer and going to see her lectures is like going to see someone perform its really interesting to see the kind of character she becomes when she lectures.

I don't like any of them to be honest. Most of them are too long and don't really say anything about her as an artist.

um 15 and 17 r the same and i agree but #4 is funny :)
