I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.

I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.

People are complex, and I think it's a huge element of what I do, because you have to balance out the fact that you talk about quite serious things with a sense of irony and tongue-in-cheek humor. That's my personality as well.

I want to provoke people with thoughts, not by taking my clothes off. It's time to move on from Stripperville.

Sometimes you feel amazing about life and other times you just feel fat and depressed, so I think it's good to be honest about that and to make light of it, I think humour is important, nobody's perfect.

I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.

My biggest fear is love and getting hurt in love but still believing.
