Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for me.

I dress in a sophisticated and classy way - I always dress in a way I know my mother wouldn't be embarrassed to see.

Ice cream is my comfort food.

Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.

I did my dissertation on Kafka.

I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.

If I make a song where I'm happy, I sound completely mad - I think my voice is better-suited for sadder songs.

My grandfather was a Russian-Jewish immigrant who lived in Northern Ireland and apparently when he sang in the synagogue he made everyone cry.

I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.

I want to be as feminine and classic as possible.

I would like to think I am feminist in some sorts.

You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.

Just five years ago, it was almost impossible to waste a million dollars building a Web site.

Women find it far more difficult to overcome their inclination to coquetry than to overcome their love.

If you help create the profits, you should be able to share in them, not just the executives at the top.

The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.

Love comes to everybody in many different ways. Attraction is always the first thing, no? But love must be more than that. It must be magic.

I criticise by creation, not by finding fault.

Here, Gentlemen, a dog teaches us a lesson in humanity.

Your eyes wider than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction.
