There are so many great singers out there.

I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.

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

Earlier in my career I just thought "I'm not very confident, I don't like singing to people." But people had some faith in me, and here we are. Sometimes I think "Oh maybe I should just be a backing singer." But I've got an amazing team of people who tell me to shut up when I'm like "Oh god, I can't do it." But now, I can't really imagine it being the other way.

American fans want to meet you, and they wait for that autograph by the stage door. In the UK, it doesn't really happen that much.

Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.
