Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Charlotte: (after appearing on Michael Parkinson's chat show) I know how uncomfortable it can be. The producers suggest questions - 'Ask Ashlee Simpson about the plastic surgery rumours' I go, 'No, she's 22. If she's had plastic surgery (a rumoured nose job), it would have been because she's so insecure. I'm not going to bring that up.' Michael Parkinson asked me, 'How's your sex life?' I said, 'Mr Parkinson, are you serious?' He went, 'Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have asked that.' Damn right he shouldn't, he's old enough to be my grandad.
-
Charlotte: I'm a curvy girl. I'm not one of those skinny models with a tent on, which is how most of them seem to look these days.
-
Charlotte (addressing false claims that she's expecting a child with rugby player Gavin Henson): I'm definitely not pregnant. My nan phoned up when she reas about it, asking me if it was true. I just ignore it and let it slide. I love babies. Gavin loves kids too. He wants loads, but I'm not fussed. Maybe in about four years I'd like to have my first.
-
Charlotte (on Celine Dion not speaking at all for an entire day before she performs a concert): I admire that, ... but I can't see myself doing it because I'm a loudmouthed cow.
-
Charlotte (whilst performing in Canada) : I love America.
-
Charlotte: I love my voice and if I lost it I would be devastated, but I just don't want to live my life like that. I am thinking of giving up smoking for general health reasons, and it was really embarrassing last weekend when I had overdone it and couldn't sing at all, which meant that I had to mime at a big outdoor festival. I felt really bad about that.
-
Charlotte: When I try to get work in the US all they say is that I need to lose weight - but I bet they never said that to Mae West.
-
Charlotte: Everyone in my family sings and it's just a natural thing that I haven't thought about too much. There was never a time when I wasn't singing. From the ages of three to five I loved Gloria Estefan and could sing Anything for You pitch-perfect. Mum and dad loved classical music and my grampy used to sing show tunes. Now I like everything from the Manic Street Preachers to Alicia Keys, some classical music if I'm feeling melancholy, and I'm not too fussed on rap although I can deal with 50 Cent. Mainly, my musical tastes seem to change with each new boyfriend. I'm so fickle at this age.
-
Charlotte: Being a teenager is confusing enough without having to read all these conflicting opinions about you in the press.
-
Charlotte: I'm curvy and wholesome. I'm a natural fat girl but my only exercise hitting the dance floor.
