People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I'm 'so tiny', and secondly that I'm 'so sweet'. They seem surprised that they're not scared of me.

I don't like working with hitmakers. I don't want hits! You're not even allowed to say that word around me.
I'm such a control freak, and it's very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.
When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.
