My dad went to jail for a long time. We lost everything, and the situation never resolved itself. My parents had this sort of passionate, disastrous desire for each other - not ideal to grow up in.

I'm sick of running away from things.

I feel like all Londoners relate more to New York - L.A. doesn't feel like a 'city' city. It's like a sleepy town.

I definitely like performing to a crowd that's there to see a female hero.

I make music because I like making music.

Every bad thing that's happened to me has defined me, has shaped, has moulded me.

Guess what, I'm the opposite of a role model!
