Another congratulations for your MTV EMA nominations. You're up for five awards, so you must be pleased?
"I am freaking out about that! I was in the middle of hair and make-up getting ready to do an entire day of interviews and I stood up and started screaming. I need to call people and was like, 'How do I make sure this is real?!' I've always seen the list for the EMAs come out and always wished I could see my name on there just once. To get five - it was a bit of a happy, excited meltdown."
You have some tough competition from Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady GaGa - are you a fan of their music?
"Absolutely - I'm a fan of them as musicians and as people. I really like Lady GaGa and everything she is for her fans.I love Katy because she's really funny and makes me laugh at award shows and Rihanna is one of the friendliest people I've ever met."
