I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

I've always been attracted to romantic secondhand clothes. But my style developed as I started going to these strange raves where everybody had these very definitive costumes.

I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

I look really odd in jeans and a hoodie - it doesn't feel or seem right.

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.

I'd experimented with so many different types of music. I had these folky songs I'd written and recorded, but something wasn't quite right.
