I want my fans to know I'm there for them. I want them to see every part of me. I am never going to leave them.

What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.

Some artists want your money so they can buy Range Rovers and diamond bracelets, but I don't care about that kind of stuff. I want your soul.

Never be afraid to dream.

The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.

For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven'tslept for three days.

I’m not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f*** off.
