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.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.

I had a real stage school voice and I could do loud things, but it's not about being loud, it's about sensitivity and subtlety in music. You can do so much more with a quiet voice than with a belter.

I only write about stuff that’s happened to me.. stuff I can’t get past personally. Luckily, I'm quite self-destructive.

Cause I'm a musician, I'm not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.

If you don't throw yourself into something, you'll never know what you could have had.

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.
