I think 'fan' implies somebody who's submissive, sycophantic, in awe of everything you're doing.

When I was very young I wanted to be an opera singer, a ballet dancer... The people I loved were a little different.

When I first put out music, people didn't know what I looked like. They called it a new type of something, they couldn't put a genre on it - it was where indie and urban kind of meet in the middle. I thought that was quite exciting.

I just try to keep my dignity and carry on with my day.

I don’t know if I’m a tortured soul, but I was born heartbroken. I remember feeling it when I was so young. 
 I was like, ‘Mum, it hurts.’

If I want to dress myself a certain way, I don't want to have to rely on someone else to do it for me.

We live in a very strange world where everything is so accessible; if you like one song someone did, you can see what they ate for breakfast or what kind of sunglasses they wore.
