A lot of people say I'm like a pop girl, but I don't know what that means.

When I hear the same formula being used over and over, I get bored. Just as huge pop artists have taken inspiration from things that are happening at the moment, I do the same with my music.

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

What I do and where I come from, the kind of music that I'm making, it's definitely U.K. If I turned around and did a tune with Timbaland, it would be amazing, but it would be me kind of leaving where I'm coming from.

When I was 18, I'd be out four nights a week - I want to have that energy again but I've found I'm a bit old and ready for retirement.

I've never really compared myself to anyone who's a big star - I'm not trying to be a fashion icon or get famous.

I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage.
