A little bit of anorexia, a little bit of bulimia. I'm not totally OK now but I don't think any woman is.

I've always written poetry but I didn't realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That's when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.

I've never been an idiot - I was a smart girl but I'd do stupid things like go around Asda and nick stuff because my friends told me to. I was a good girl as a teenager.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

I would say that jazz is my own language.

I was expecting it to be cynical because I'm like that myself. I wouldn't want it to be all roses because life isn't like that.
