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 do get massively distracted when I've got someone in my life, which I can't afford to do right now...besides, no one treats me as well as I do.

Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.

Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.

I'm very confident. Even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight.

Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it's a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don't know why.

It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet, I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing, why would I do that? I ain't got time for this, just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.
