The guys in my band are great-we watch movies we eat pizza take walks read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

After my tour I had time to stay at home be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

One thing I think celebrities shy away from is exposing the reality that we're all the same. Somebody's not more important because they have a Bentley or a big house or a famous boyfriend or plastic surgery - we're all the same.

All my life it's been the same with men. Being a woman who is famous and adored by men is very hard for any boyfriend to handle. All my boyfriends end up insecure.

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.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics whether it's with girlfriends boyfriends or family.

Over the last couple of years I've really worked toward balancing my life out more having a little bit more time with friends family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside so be it.

It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing why would I do that? I ain't got time for this just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.

I can't wait for my little sisters to start dating because it will really be fun to pick on their boyfriends.
