When I was 13, listening to Choice FM, I would listen to a lot of R&B from America, and whenever a British person tried to do it, it didn't really work, they just sounded like they were trying to copy that whole style. Now the music sounds British, something real rather than an imitation.

I used to play the piano when I was younger, and I loved Alicia Keys. I wanted to be Alicia Keys; she was such an idol to me.

I'd love to be the new Jools Holland, but you know, for, like, cooler people.

I go to a club to relax and hear the music on a big sound system. I don't go to pull a guy.

I would love to have the biggest band that I can have. I'd love to put on a massive show and just give people their money's worth, then just come away from it thinking, 'That was a good show', because it's kind of disappointing sometimes when you go and see someone and you can see they're not that bothered.

I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.

I don't want people to think they have to like me because I'm on TV every other minute.
