QUOTES

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.

I can be really horrible sometimes, a total bitch.

It's true what they say about women reaching their peak later in life. Sex becomes less tied up with emotions and relationships, and more about having a good time.

Once I was off to the loo when everyone started chanting, "Dido, Dido, give us a wave." It's flattering, but I would rather everyone in the whole ground didn't know I was off for a wee.
