Often, the people who speak loudest about republican values are the least when it comes to honouring them.

Music TV in the U.K. is disappearing. 'Top Of The Pops,' 'CD:UK' and shows like that have gone, and it's bringing down the music industry. We should do as much as we can to keep our music TV and producers need to be more willing to accommodate live music.

I think it's really hard being in a boy band. There's a lot of dynamics.

I'm glad I was never in a band.

I like someone who can take the reins, who knows what they want and is strong with me.

I never dress to shock.

Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.

I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.

I've still kind of maintained a low profile but people still kind of recognize you and will come up to you, and that's taken a bit of getting used to.

My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.

I'm not annoying in relationships! I'm great!

People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.

I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.

Overall, I'm quite good with how I spend my cashola.

I trust every single person around me, and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.

My mum is my best friend.

I would like to be a positive force for young girls.

I definitely keep myself secret.

In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.

People don't really know me at all.

Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.

I am a whole lot of trouble.

I get such lovely gifts from fans... amazing pictures, handmade jewellery. I'm very lucky!

I'm quite curvy and I just try and exercise whenever I can. I don't do anything hardcore as I'm just not that dedicated.

I usually dream of melodies. When I wake up I have them in my head. I usually come up with things in the middle of the night because that's when my mind is the quietest. I always have my tape recorder, pen and pad by my bed just in case.

I love music but, of course, I'd choose love over that.

For me, love is happiness and inspiration.

A part of me feels like I was an animal in my past life that wasn't treated very nicely.

Fear and pain and suffering is not OK for any being to feel intentionally at the hands of us.

I don't like going out where it's really, really crowded.

Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them.

All my friends I've known since I was really little.

It takes bravery to end a relationship.

Obviously, a long-distance relationship is hard. But, like anything worth having, you make it work.

There are so many songs I've recorded, only to hear other people singing them. It happens all the time.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

People will always show their true selves in the end.

I don't have many famous friends, really, except Simon Cowell.

My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.

I suffer from arachnophobia. I don't mind the tiny spiders so much, it's the ones with their legs covered in thick hair.

I don't get involved in record label politics.

I've always been conscious of my weight.

I'll never go against my morals.

I'm a positive person, and I try to look at the good side of everything.

I'm very sensitive and I'm quite a soft person, and I cry a lot when things upset me.

I'd love to be on 'Glee.' I'd love to play a rebel. Be a real biker chick in leather and covered in tattoos.

I hate having my hair cut so I try not to.

I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.

Oh my gosh! I can't tell you the number of times people have put autotune on my voice, and I'm like, 'Please take it off!' You don't even sound human; it makes you sound like a robot!
