It's the love you have for yourself that's most important.

I highly recommend time to yourself.

Normally I begin writing a song with just with aim to express something, and sometimes I don't know what I want to express until a sentence comes to my head that will sum up everything about how I'm feeling at the time.

I love the music of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu and more recently the music of Laura Marling. All these women share a strength and a wisdom in their voices and music that really makes me want to make music and sing.

The dream never stops But I see the end before I wake up.

I like to dress for my shape - I think it's important for women to do that generally - it makes me feel good.

When I write I find a quiet place.
