I'm an ass-kicking fat kid.
In my judgment, physical fitness is basic to all forms of excellence and to a strong, confident nation.
I do rock the sunglasses. To a rude point, at times. But I don't care, it's my first defence. I'm shy, so I've gotta have something. I need some protection, man.
I like clothes that make me feel good. My favourite designers include Michelle Jonas and Dolce & Gabbana. Their clothes make me feel as if I'm Sophia Loren - really womanly.
My mother was a very, very funny, outrageous, outspoken person, and she never edited me. Her whole thing in my life was if anybody had a problem with me, tell them to go to hell.
For high school, everything is about what you wear, how you come to school, and in high school, a lot of people judge you. So fashion is something that can save you - at least, it saved me.
My mother always told me before shows to stand up and show them whose little boy you are.
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
Throughout my life, I've been that annoying kid on every stage at school, in every talent contest.
It's hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.
I might not be the most whatever in the world but I've built credibility with the audience that means something. So, I can sort of have that thing about me and I always wear a nice suit as well, which is important.
But I’m living proof you don’t have to spend a lot in order to look great.
My mum thinks I'm amazing at everything. That unconditional love is just the most precious thing you can have.
Your first hit in the majors - that's tops. It means you're on your way. When you get the first hit, then you can get the rest.
A great dress can make you remember what is beautiful about life.
Mum worked as a secretary for Orson Welles for what sounded like a very miserable year. Her brother was the actor Jeremy Brett, who became famous for playing Sherlock Holmes. He was an absolutely lovely man. Very exciting and glamorous, he'd always make me feel amazing and full of confidence, like I'd picked the right thing to do in life.
I'm in New York every two weeks. I don't have to ring a bell when I come to the city. I just do what I'm supposed to do when I'm in the city. I don't shy away.
I don't agree with superstitious routines, but there are a couple of things I'll always do before performing. I'll get together with the band and chill out, and then, just before I go on stage, I'll always check my flies.
I enjoy my public speaking. That's what I love doing. It's what I'm good at.
There was a time where I wouldn't go out of the house without at least putting mascara on.
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
It never bothered me that people made fun of my passion for gold... I would never feel bad when people ridiculed me for my fascination with gold.
I'm a big woman. I need big hair.
I'm not a beautiful woman. I'm nothing to look at, so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else.
If you wear bold, bright clothes, you can't have a bad day!
