If you don't want to have your private life splashed everywhere, why go to the restaurants and the places you know you're going to be photographed?

[Being in the States] is almost like being on a holiday. It's kind of annoying because everyone's like "Oh, you're so obsessed with America," but it's not really that. I just really enjoy being here - I'm not the first British artist to make music here and be inspired by the country.

I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.

I have sold my soul. I would sell my soul, if I could have it all.

I'm not really part of that 'L.A. thing' or that celebrity culture. I'm more like someone who observes it, and I can't ever imagine being like that.

I really like the look of the 1950s, lots of suburban Americana influences. I'm 5'4', so I like kitten heels occasionally because I can move around a bit easier, but pointy-toed pumps are very elongating.

I think each human being wants to make their mark on the world in whatever way they can, and maybe everyone has a slight egomaniac inside of them.
