It's important for a dancer to wear very tight underpants. I used to feel a bit exposed if I wasn't being held up in the right place.

I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional.

What's so brave about being bald? I've not fought for my country or found the cure for cancer - I've just gone out without my hat on!

A successful business is a good way to create significant wealth, but not every business will grow into a News Corporation or a McDonalds.

I was always myself. I never pretended I'd been to a gig the night before and was hanging out with Rita Ora, because that's not what I do.

I always write 'Magic Potion' on my perfume bottles so when I use them, it feels magical - I make spells in the morning when I put them on.

I've always liked trees. And then, growing up, I took an interest in ecology, hedges being destroyed, the landscape being turned into prairies.
