Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost ?200 or ?2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.
It's hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you're younger.
I never manage to get to bed early on Sunday night but this doesn't matter, as I don't know one level of exhaustion from another.
Yeah, I'm not really a morning person.
Now when I say Sophie Ellis-Bextor I feel that's not really me because that's become this entity from doing the gigs and the shows and the make-up contracts and whatever else.
There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.
I'm always sticking up for other people.
You have to apply yourself because you'll never get a better opportunity than the one you have right now. Having said that, people know by now if they like me or not. I don't need to prove anything.
That's part of the reason I called the album 'Shoot From The Hip.' I did feel it was time to open up more.
I was an only child, but then my parents resettled with different partners, and I am now one of six.
In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear.
Come rain or shine I walk short distances rather than taking my car.

I'm too frightened of confrontation, so I will always tip - even if the service has been really shoddy.
Also, I think women really come into their own in their 30s.
I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.

I learned to stand up for myself at school where I was never too popular.
I think I'm fairly good with money, but I've developed some strange tics - in shops I don't like to go to the counter unless I've got at least two things to buy. If I'm walking around with just one thing in my hand I'll put it back and wait a few weeks because that doesn't seem like a proper purchase.
