Eliza Doolittle

I did try theatre out when I was little. I did roles as a child actress. My parents didn't push me into it. But I was up for it. I didn't enjoy doing eight shows a week, though. That repetitiveness didn't appeal to me. I love doing something different every day and travelling. You can't do that in the theatre.

Lots of people, from what I can see, just want to get into the music business for the glamour of it. But there isn't any, really. It's so up and down this industry, but if you really love it, nothing can stop you.

I learnt that if I want to make any difference, or changes to my world, then I've got to be involved. We need passion - that's how things change.

When I first played live, I would shake with fear, and my voice would tremble. But I do it for the love of it. There's nothing I love more than playing live.

I love lots of designers. I will always love Vivienne Westwood; she is a legendary designer.

The Beatles and Ray Charles were in the same charts together, and that was just called pop music - it wasn't called soul or rock. The best pop music just stands out as something that's just original, and I think it should all be called pop again.

I love shopping. I don't go on crazy 'I'm going shopping' sprees; I shop as I go along.

I have always been a Peter Blake fan and love street art and graffiti. I really like this street-art collective called Faile. They're from Brooklyn and make these prints of beautiful women.

I love' Les Mis,' and I owe it a lot, because I wouldn't have been born without it.

I haven't been watching any TV recently because I've been on the road, but I am an avid 'EastEnders' fan. I've watched it all my life, and so have my family.

Constantly travelling means I don't always get to eat well - so it's probably a good idea for me to do some exercise.

The only thing that holds true happiness is that moment when you're in it. Nothing can be controlled.
