(On her unusual name) "To be called one thing and christened another is actually very confusing and annoying. It`s one of the most irritating things that my parents did to me. I`m still irritated by it. Florian is a German man`s name. That`s just mean. To give your child a whole lot of odd names. They were all so embarrassing."

"It feels like someone`s rushed in and taken all your clothes off." - on hearing her songs played in public

"I would not have had the opportunity to achieve what I have done without the encouragement of excellent teachers. Every child must have the opportunity to write songs and learn an instrument."

"It is much more satisfying to write your own songs. Otherwise you are only as good as the next batch of songwriters. You have to put in the hours too. I did eight tours of the US, playing as many gigs as possible before I was a hit here. As well as being much more satisfying, writing your own songs gives you a better chance of having a longterm career."

"Playing the recorder and taking music lessons was a great escape and helped open up my mind as a child."

"It can be just playing two chords and making up lyrics about what you did that day or putting forward a point of view. That`s how I started. It`s fun and we ought to get children writing. I don`t make political comments but I do want the Government to put music right at the top of the cirriculum. Having that option was vital for me."

It doesn`t matter how big the audience is, as long as they are enjoying it, it`s fine

Watching Elton John singing my song with Eminem on the Grammys was just bizarre

I can`t go to Tesco without people following me down the aisles whispering, "That`s her". It started off in Marks & Spencer`s and now it`s every supermarket

I`m an all right musician who is rubbish at everything. I used to be a great classical player but I let that slip. Sometimes I play piano live but then I can`t sing. It`s like rubbing your stomach and head at the same time

I go shopping, clean the flat, cook my boyfriend`s dinner. It`s great selling records, but it doesn`t mean you have to turn into a freak

I`m not actually putting me out through my lyrics. I`m trying to put feelings out. I`m not sort of saying this is me, because if I was, I`d be a psycho

It`s much better when I go out with my mates and we stop talking about me like I`m some sort of egomaniac. It`s great when we can just have a drink

I was going to play for Arsenal, and that was final. I was going to be the first girl in the team. I was disappointed when I realised that wasn`t going to happen

I`ll never as long as I live write a song about what it is to be famous, at that point, remove me from this life, I`ve lost it

My perfect day is going to the pub and then a football match

I don`t give a flying f*** about any other chart

It`s so much fun, it`s making me giggle. I feel like a princess today
