Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for me.

I have moments, like a guy saying to me on the tube, "You know, you look a lot like Jessie Ware."

I would like to think I am feminist in some sorts.

I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.

I went to university and studied English literature, and I forgot about music. I was gonna be a journalist. But then I decided to try and be a backing singer, and my mum was like, "Go for it." If that didn't work, I was gonna go to law school. I was just being boringly sensible; trying to be a singer felt a bit indulgent.

Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.

I can't eat before I go onstage because I've learnt that burping on stage isn't a good thing. It's all about acid reflux.
