I feel that my fans deserve to get something that's authentic and real.

On that very first day, when I queued up, in the thousands, I never expected to get very far

I know people say 'what about when you're old and you're covered in tattoos?' - so what. Anyway, in time to come everyone will have them and it will be all the trend, won't it? 'Cuz you don't know how the times are gonna change.

I find it so funny how people that don't write the music, and have no involvement in it, can make such huge decisions on behalf of artists.

I don't feel like I have to be the nice girl.

When you sing live, you cannot expect any artist, except for the amazing Beyonce or GaGa, to get it right every time.

This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.
