I hated school, but I love work.

I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.

I like spaghetti bolognese, I like baked beans on toast. I hate French food. I hate fancy food.

I probably get more satisfaction from making a show than being on a show.

I should get a dog. I would get a rescue dog. I like mutts; I don't care. I would probably get a three-legged dog no one else would want.

I still put punctuation in my texts. If it's an 'I', I make sure it's a capital.

I turned down many chances to be on TV before 'Pop Idol' because I really wasn't interested in being famous. I didn't need it and didn't want it.

I want people to understand that from the minute Lady Gaga arrived, she created a new set of rules: being different is good; embrace it.

I was 12 years old when I first realized that food could be hot. That's why I turned out the way I am.

I was never given any hand-outs. I started at the bottom and was very good at finding people who knew more than me and learning from them.

I'd say the most dangerous thing I've ever done is probably bungee jumping in Thailand.

I'm not that musical. I don't really know how a record is produced, and, funnily enough, I don't want to.

I'm obsessed with cleanliness for myself, so I will take a bath three times a day, sometimes a steam twice a day in addition to that.

I've always been petrified of working for a boss who I didn't like but who I was in fear of, because I wanted my salary.

I've always treated the music business as a business.

I've spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the very best security and I can assure you my homes are as safe as the Bank of England.

If I had one dog, I'd want a hundred. If I had one kid, I'd probably want a hundred. I mean, it's just the way I am.

If I was gay, why wouldn't I admit it? It wouldn't harm me.

If you only ever heard Lady Gaga, she's the most boring singer in the world.

If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.
