When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

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

Have they known scorn like youFive cellars down?

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.

Relationships, like eyebrows, are better when there is space between them.

I love seeing strong-willed women inspire little girls. I hope someday some new artist will say 'I was inspired by the Dixie Chicks.

The longer one lives, the more one realizes that nothing is a dish for every day.

I don't think that I'm over his influence but they probably don't look like Picassos; Picasso himself would probably have thrown up looking at my pictures.

I punch a lot of guys on set. It's much easier than in real life as your hands don't hurt afterwards. The key is that you miss.

Did you know that Mozart had no arms and no legs? I've seen statues of him on people's pianos.
