[2012] I don't think it [All Saints' 2006 reunion] was done for the right reasons... I know that I did it for the money. We got signed before we had even made music again, it wasn't like we felt we had something to give back to the world... we were given an opportunity and took it, without really thinking about it too hard. I never felt comfortable with the success the band had and it was not necessarily the plan at the beginning; there was a lot of compromise involved. Show less «

I was jealous of Stuart [Zender, her fiance and former Jamiroquai bassist] working with other people and said, 'Work with me!' I just wanted to do the music I wanted to do. I hate going out live and love the studio. I try and ask questions if I can be arsed, and I'm not too stoned. But I think he gets frustrated by my lack of knowing or even wanting to know. Show less «

I'm still fascinated by celebrity culture. I read all the mags and papers, and the smuttier the better. When 3am [the Mirror, erm, nightlife column] does a story on you, it's not nice, but I love it when it's not me. I can be objective because I'm not part of it. Show less «

[sarcastically responding to Cheryl Tweedy's claim All Saints' new single Rock Steady sounded like one of Girls Aloud's] That is so true because 'Jump for my love' is so where I wanna be. [...] We could only aspire and dream to be like them. Hopefully one day we will achieve that. For now we will just have to make do with copying them. Show less «

[It's funny, she muses, resolutely pushing the Silk Cuts away again (Blatt nurtures her vices, which also include physical sloth, junk food and, for a while, cocaine), she and Nicole had been best friends since the day they met at the Sylvia Young stage school.] We shared the same sense of humour, and the same kind of... we didn't fit into the usual stage-school cliches. I never got any work at school because of my looks, and she was very nervous, so we became best friends overnight. Show less «

Oh, I hate reading interviews with people where they give all the 'right' answers because they don't want to offend anybody. You give an interview for one reason only, to talk about yourself. If not, then don't do an interview? Show less «

[Then, at the end of 2000, when the four were heartily sick of themselves and of each other, came the row over who was going to wear a particular jacket for a photoshoot.] The jacket was a metaphor for our break-up, but it really ended a long time before. We could've kept it going, but the Appletons weren't having it. Everyone said, 'There's so much money to be made!' But they didn't want to. Show less «
