Eliza Doolittle

“When I was really little, I wanted to be a taxi driver or a bus driver; I loved the fact that I could play my own music when I wanted. But I can't imagine actually doing that now; I think I'd get bored.”

“As soon as something becomes 'trendy,' I go off it. I hate the idea of being a sheep and just following a look because I've been told it's fashionable. Individuality makes the world a much more interesting place.”

“I'm interested in wartime stories, as I think it's important to remember what the soldiers went through.”

“I think my parents did want me to go to university just in case, but neither my mum or dad went to uni, so they couldn't talk.”

“I don't really go out partying, but I'm definitely a social butterfly.”

“When I first played live, I would shake with fear, and my voice would tremble. But I do it for the love of it. There's nothing I love more than playing live.”

“I don't like how women's bodies are Page 3 news. I just don't think that's big news. Women's bodies are women's bodies, and that's that. And I love to see beautiful - the female form in great art and great photography.”

“I'm really into laces; I always accessorize with shoe laces whether I wear them as a belt, or attached to my shorts or in my hair or as a bracelet.”

“I played Joseph in 'Joseph & The Technicolor Dreamcoat,' which was a bit silly because I am a girl. I wanted to be the narrator, but I had fun with it anyway.”

“I love lots of designers. I will always love Vivienne Westwood; she is a legendary designer.”

“I like getting a tan, so if I'm lying on the beach, I want to get as much skin out as possible.”

“I do embarrassing things all the time, but I don't really get embarrassed. It's like I'm unaware of my embarrassing things.”

“I have always been a Peter Blake fan and love street art and graffiti. I really like this street-art collective called Faile. They're from Brooklyn and make these prints of beautiful women.”

“My music is not a particular genre. It's not bubblegum or cheese. It's just good songs, pop songs. It's just my songs.”

“I always loved singing. I was always trying to sing in school plays. I was in every one I could be in.”

“Constantly travelling means I don't always get to eat well - so it's probably a good idea for me to do some exercise.”

“As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.”

“I like to wear colourful clothes because they make me feel happy: short-shorts with funky tights and big jumpers are what I'm into. And I wear most things with hi-top trainers - I'm not a huge fan of heels.”

“My mum taught me that bodies are bodies, and they come in all shapes and sizes - we should be free about that. My legs are a bit dangly, and my knees point inwards. Everyone has insecurities, but I try not to focus on them. It's important to be confident with what you've got.”

“Young people, our rights and the things we care about, have been taken away because it doesn't really matter to the politicians whether or not we have them. We're just another demographic to try and please, but there's no point if we aren't voting.”
