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

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

I tried a couple of pop writers - none of the big, big, big ones - but it didn't work for me. I do have a commercial voice; I'm not quirky. I'm very normal and that's probably why I like people like Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston. It's no-nonsense. They sing well, and that's it.

Ice cream is my comfort food.

A female vocal can lift a song.

Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.

I've become one of those annoying people who brings their own food on to planes.
