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 write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

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

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

My dad always had music playing around us and he was always a happy chirpy man with a beautiful voice. I was always singing around the house and I assumed that's what all families did. It wasn't until I went through that nasty teenage stage that I started to realise that wasn't the case.
