It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'

Compared to a lot of artists, I'm usually quite covered up in videos and photo shoots.

Mum doesn't like it when I mention that Dad's a better cook than her. He was born in Spain and spent eight years in Portugal and is exceptional at lots of cuisines.

I don't have a competitive bone in my body, so the last thing I want to do is be competing with people.

I want my shows to be eerie and mysterious.

If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won't do a photo because I wouldn't want any photographic evidence.

Once you accept that we're all imperfect it's the most liberating thing in the world. Then you can go around making mistakes and saying the wrong thing and tripping over on the street and all that and not feel worried.
