I'm curvy and wholesome.

They never were planning to be here. All my family are going to London because they wanted to go to the big one. There was never any showdown - there wouldn't be.

I'm just experimenting with every different type of music you can imagine and seeing where my voice lies and what sounds best. I think when I do finally do the album it will be very eclectic - just loads of different stuff on it. That's what I am hoping.

The cast and the crew made me feel really welcome. Towards the end it just got better and better.

I would quite like to do a different accent or play something so different from myself because Olivia, the character I play in this film, is similar to me.

I know bugger all about golf.

It was quite natural - the first day I got to the set I was really nervous, but I loved the whole experience.

I'm curvy and wholesome.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating.

They used to but not any more. You kind of get used to it - you accept it is part of your job - if you're famous and you want this life, you have got to accept this part of it as well.

I can't stand Bob Dylan.

When I try to get work in the US all they say is that I need to lose weight - but I bet they never said that to Mae West.

Since I was 12 or 13, I have been taking movie meetings finding a project right for me because I wanted to try it. Craig gave us the script - it was set in Wales, it is really British humour. I just loved it.

I was being categorized as some kind of twangy songwriter. And that's just not how I see myself.

Digital is a disaster. No digital radio has the correct time and they don't even agree with each other.

I think you translate emotion better when you take your hands off.

When I'm upset, everyone knows about it, and it's a selfish trait because everyone suffers.

Whoever, fleeing marriage and the sorrows that women cause, does not wish to wed comes to a deadly old age.

When I started out, I was absolutely awful, I had no voice, I didn't have a lot of stage presence and most of the interpretive intensity that I brought to the experience was actually terror.

One thing I've learned over my career is that simplicity is the key: on the field, off as well.

Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.

There is a definite loneliness in the game. Most people stay away from you since they think they're intruding upon your time. And after the ball game, when it's 11 o'clock and you want to eat dinner some place, the restaurants are closed.

I am happy now in this moment which is all there is.

When people say, 'Why don't you face the music?' I say, 'You have to understand the music is not an open court and a fair trial.'

Shetland has always been a place of sanctuary for me. I visited when I dropped out of university, and I just loved it from the minute I got there. It's a bleak but very beautiful place.

Of course my uncle was a giant, but my dad, in particular, had the house filled with these great Dixieland jazz stars, really the best of them: Henry Red Allen, Willie 'The Lion' Smith, Buster Bailey, Cutty Cutshall, Tyree Glenn, Zutty Singleton. These are all big names in the Dixieland world.

I work for Donald Trump, and everyone knows that.

We have to get the oil where the oil is.

Life's experiences, whether they be pleasant or unpleasant, torturous or excruciatingly wonderful and blissful, you know, season you somehow and you learn from them.

When I was starting out, I thought about how the Internet is global and that we should have a global name, a name that's interesting. At that time, the best name was Yahoo! Suddenly I thought, 'Alibaba is a good name.'

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.
