If I could be a doctor and save lives I would, but I can't so I sing songs.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.

I only watch TV when I go to hotels.

The big, big record labels have so much control. I think too much control that it actually made their artists scared to not do what they were told and then the music suffers because of that dynamic and now there's the power of the download.

When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.

I've got a checklist of things I want - including a Brit, a Grammy, an Oscar and a white poodle. Sometimes it gets lonely, and I want a baby too! I'm ticking things off the list.

I really love art and I always have in every single different form and I just hope that I'm able to give some art that will touch some people and help them to be more positive and stronger.
