Having a successful first album is one thing, but a successful third is another.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
I don't think writing or co-writing my songs makes me a better singer, but I haven't really got an excuse not to do it as I've got too many opinions!
Sophie Ellis Bextor

For every person that says I'm the new Audrey Hepburn, someone else says that I look like an alien.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven't been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don't take as much notice of you, it's really quite palpable.

Getting up to dance to your own stuff looks pretty pretentious. And leaving the dancefloor when it comes on is just awkward.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Dance music is great, but it's not a time to be reflective or particularly wistful.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
You should make an effort on stage because it's a performance. The stage should be glittery and camp, but I don't go down the shops in full stage gear.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
I don't think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.

The NHS is a bit iffy when you sprain an ankle, but when it's a high-priority issue, it's fantastic. They don't mess about. They're incredibly efficient when things go wrong.
