I can't be arsed with game players. I'm more 'I like you, do you like me? Let's go and do something about it.' I'm a very straightforward person like that.

I just dress like... I'm an old black man. Sorry! Like I'm an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it's still the '50s.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.

I wouldn't be with a man who was scared of me, but I don't think men are scared of me - look at me, I'm tiny. I don't think I'm capable of putting anyone off. I'm a nice girl.

If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.
