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.

Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler.

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said 'No, no, no,'

Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.

I would say that jazz is my own language.

You know how you either grow up in a Michael Jackson house or a Prince house? For me it was Michael Jackson. I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson or marry him.
