Eliza Doolittle

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.

I always loved singing. I was always trying to sing in school plays. I was in every one I could be in.

Every time I get photographed, it's the legs. So I've insured them for a lot, for £5 million each. Is that enough?

Everybody is always going to have haters. It comes with the job. You have to have a tough skin and not let it affect you.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

I have a lot of kids in my district who haven't been to the beach, much less Washington, D.C., and that's 20 miles away.
