Sophie Ellis Bextor
I'd never really thought about it before, but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
I'm always sticking up for other people.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
I learned to stand up for myself at school where I was never too popular.
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.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
I'm happy that I have a look, but I don't over-analyse whether or not it's beautiful or ugly.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
But I don't like working on lyrics publicly in the studio - I prefer to take them away and work on them in my bedroom.

Yeah, I'm not really a morning person.
