I sit at the piano for a couple of hours and tinker away until I get something. I am a nocturnal spirit, like an owl.

I would love to be friends with Kanye West, because I know he is not a dreadful person, he is a lovely person and I think he is misunderstood.

The thing is, is that I hate theatre, but it was how I learnt to sing.

I feel like success is really subjective. You could win a school talent show and be like "I was successful", or you could get a Number One in New Zealand and be like "I was successful', or you could win a Grammy and be like "I was successful".

It is one of those things that is universally connectable, people can connect to it from everywhere; music is like that universal language.

When I come up with something that I feel like people will connect with that makes me happy because I know that it would be something that would just go beyond me.

I just chuck a bunch of words down and whether they find themselves into a song... I have lots of weird notes on my phone. I often come up with a phrase that I really like, I write it down and it stays in my notes folder, and when I'm writing I will scroll through and see if it kind of fits and if I can mould a verse around it.
