A Career In Entertainment Has A Lifespan,

It's Hard To Feel Comfortable In Your Own Skin When You're Younger.

I Can Definitely Tell When Mum Has Got Money Because Then She Likes To Go Shopping To Spend It, Whereas Dad Is Steadier And Avoids Splurges. I Like To Think I've Inherited Both Sides.

I Was An Only Child, But Then My Parents Resettled With Different Partners, And I Am Now One Of Six.

Now When I Say Sophie Ellis-bextor I Feel That's Not Really Me Because That's Become This Entity From Doing The Gigs And The Shows And The Make-up Contracts And Whatever Else.

I Really Love Being In London At Weekends - There's Always So Much To Do.
