I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to. But it was just filling up my day with hatred.

There is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It's like, 'Just let them run it, then. Don't you give them ammunition.'

I'm just writing love songs. I'm not trying to be pop. I'm not trying to be jazz. I'm not trying to be anything. I'm just writing love songs. And everyone loves a love song.

I have never been insecure, ever, about how I look, about what I want to do with myself. My mum told me to only ever do things for myself, not for others.

I read a comment [about me] on YouTube that I thought would upset me — ‘Test pilot for pies’ — but I’ve always been a size 14-16 and been fine with it. I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn’t.

If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.

I'm not on good terms with any of my exes. That's why we're not together anymore. We're not friends.
