I'm not afraid to use my personal experiences and put them into a song. I think that's when you get the best stuff anyway, when it's real emotion.

I don't try to pretend to be what I'm not. I don't feel I need to do anything outrageous.

The worst thing about me is my toes. I've thick joints from wearing pointe ballet shoes - I went to a dance school from the age of 11 and danced every day.

I just always wanted to be a singer. My mom said I was even singing in my cot!

I don't want to be one of those people who falls out of cabs drunk. But I don't want to be known as some boring girl who just sits at home and doesn't do anything.

I think it's really important for real artists to make sure they're honest.

I would really love to go to Thailand as so many people have told me how wonderful it is.
