Natalie imbruglia

When I'm in London, I love to visit Kensington gardens and just sit in the park and read a good book.

I wasn't naturally drawn to fashion when I was younger but with my work I'm so exposed to what's out there that I'm hoping my style has become a little more sophisticated.

You feel this pressure that people will take you more seriously if you play guitar, but I've decided I'm a singer and that's enough.

I would have been happy to have waited till I was in my mid- to late-30s before I got married, but you don't choose when these things happen, and when they do, there's no doubt in your mind.

There are artists who think they have to be on top all the time. I think that would be exhausting.

I've always been drawn to the four-leaf clover. It's deeply significant to my sister and me, so much so that we both have had it tattooed on the inside of our wrists.

I'm a fan of homeopathy, acupuncture and spiritual healing. In Australia, this is not weird, but when I arrived in the U.K., everyone thought I was a freak.

If I start feeling down I'll gorge myself on pasta. That usually does the trick. It's the Italian blood in me.

You're only as good as your last record and you could get dropped.

Generally I can sleep any time, anywhere, any place, unless I'm anxious about work. I can get performance anxiety, so when I'm on tour it can be hard to sleep.
