[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 actually quite like promo, which is quite odd for an artist, but recording's not the easiest thing.

I felt connected with Madonna from a very young age. I think I share a lot of qualities from her personality. I really respect her.

I am absolutely not a roll-on-stage kind of girl! I would be totally freaked out if I didn't warm up, and I don't know how other singers do it.

I don't really know how to live my life, just like lots of other people don't. I guess you just learn along the way.

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

Trends in culture all serve a purpose and that's always indicative in fashion and music, you can always tell what's going on culturally in the mindset of the young generation if you look at those mediums.
