I am quite loud and bolshie. I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.

Would I show my body off if I was thinner? Probably not, because my body is mine. I think I remind everyone of themselves. I'm not saying everyone is my size, but it's relatable because I'm not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable.

I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you

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.”

I don't rely on my figure to sell records.

I love love songs. But I love pop music as well: Girls Aloud, Kylie, the Spice Girls, East 17, Mika.

I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.
