Image
I'm not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I'm on holiday. I do enough shopping when I'm at home, and like to have a complete break when I'm away.
Paloma Faith
Image
My desire to experiment comes from my attention-deficit approach to cosmetics. I just get really bored, really easily.
Paloma Faith
Image
I get plenty of, 'Is that song about me?' from men but I just tell them to get over themselves.
Paloma Faith
Image
Sometimes people fear the truth. They'd rather not speak to you than know what you really think.

It's amazing living alone. I'm very lucky. It's like a refuge.
