In my hometown memories are fresh.

Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. I don't find it encouraging...I just stand there and sing. I'm not worried that I'm a 'plus size' and so much bigger than other artists. No matter what you look like the key is to be happy with yourself.

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.

People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.

I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.

I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

Music isn`t for the eyes, it`s for the ears
