I wasn't always someone who was talented. It was more that I was loud and loved a challenge.

I won't lie - when you're first bringing out music and you want people to notice, you probably overdo it, especially as a girl.

I do my own make-up a lot of the time, and I'm very involved in what I wear.

If I'm on a bus and someone makes my blood boil, I'll pocket those emotions and put them in a song.

My style is constantly evolving. Style has been something that I think has been the hardest thing for me to come to terms with.

I'm someone who'd never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.

I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres.

I'd hate it if everyone in the world liked me, my music and what I wore. It'd make it boring, and I wouldn't have anything to work towards. It's not to everyone's taste, but I can only be me.

I'm glad I was faced with different cultures when I was growing up because I wasn't fazed by it. It has been a huge benefit to me; I feel comfortable wherever I go.

I always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.
