Babyface is definitely a big inspiration.

I was always the girl who had that baby face.

There are definitely things about 'Legendary Child' that echo the music we did earlier in our career. It's got the right stuff.

My initial career, really, as a baby, was as a singer.

It was an amazing experience to work with Michael Jackson, who is a legend.

As a little girl I always dreamed of having a cosmetics contract, which was the cherry on top of 'making it' in my opinion.

I remember this time I worked with Linda Evangelista on a shoot for Richard Avedon. I just put grease on her face, and it was beautiful.

It was a challenge to be able to create a character without being able to use one's normal set of expressions. All the rubber and makeup attached to your face left you with only a modest range of facial movements.

When I was a kid in the mid-'60s, I was what's known as a moddie boy, a prototype skinhead. You all had your hair like a crew cut, cropped, with suits or Levis with red suspenders, sometimes Doc Martens. It was a thriving soul music, Motown and ska scene; we used to dance to Prince Buster and the Skatalites.
