I used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking.

I just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tags.

It's ok not to be ok. Just be true to who you are.

Do what makes you feel good. Remind yourself of what you're good at and make sure you do that.

It's weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don't see the hundreds of people at a gig or the viewers on TV, you just write a song without any inhibitions or boundaries.

My attitude goes back to my childhood. I used to audition for theatrical roles, and you can't stand out in a room full of ambitious eight-year-old girls by acting the wallflower. I realised then that I couldn't do things half-heartedly.

I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.
