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

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.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.

If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.

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.

Music was my ultimate ambition but I liked all of it. I wanted to discipline myself in dance and acting too and I'd done all three since I was 9-years-old. I could sing, but I didn't become a great singer.
