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

I never went round to loads of managers saying 'this is what I have, this is my product and I'm going to be famous so you'd better sign me up.' They came to me.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

I've always had my own style, I've always been different. I don't like to wear anything that anyone else is wearing because it's very important for me to make a statement.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

The more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.
