I don't really need to stand out, there's room for everyone. Although I haven't built a niche yet, I'm just writing love songs.

You can't complain about your dressing room or you'll look like Celine Dion.

I think no matter what you look like, the key is to first of all be happy with yourself. And then you know if you want to try to improve things that you don't like about yourself, then do it after your appreciate yourself.

The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I’m writing about, and that’s why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, “Oh my God, this song is totally about me.”

Whenever I'm about to eat meat I always see my little dog's eyes.
