Quote by Lily Allen
“Ive had enough of being me. Ive had enough of being Lily Allen, I want to be me now. Whatever situation Im in, whether its going to the supermarket, the pub or a club, or in the back of a cab, people think they know me. And the reality is they dont. Lily Allen is a character I have no control over. Ive got nothing to do with it except my face is the one that goes with it.”
