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

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

I will never censor myself to please anyone.

If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

Artists are definitely, like, under a sort of microscope of scrutiny more than others.

I don't listen to music, actually. Obviously I go to clubs; I stand in elevators; a lot of my friends are musicians; I hear music all the time. But I don't have my own collection of music.

I was born in Bradford, a city in the north of England that God forgot about. A place where most people never leave, but if they do, they certainly never go back.
