I'm a country girl, raised in Gloucestershire, England. But my family encouraged me to travel, and I wanted to experience the world. Maybe that's not traditional, but my values have stayed strong. Perhaps that's where wanting to have children comes into it: I'll always be making work; I guess when - and if - I have children, I'll have them with me.

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.

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

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

I once said to a boy, ‘You’re a really good kisser,’ and he said, ‘You’re only as good as the person you’re kissing.' I think it’s the same with the music. If someone [says], ‘Your music is really provocative,’ I’m only as provocative as the person that’s listening to it.

No boyfriend wants to see their girlfriend in a video with a big, handsome black dude feeding his fingers into her mouth, do they? But that concept is my expression, and boyfriends have to deal with that, don't they?

I hope to do a visual for every 
single thing, even if it’s as small as a gif or as big as a whole dance music film.
