favourite colour
I love pink - pink's my favourite. I hardly ever - weirdly - wear it, but I love the colour pink.
praise humans critical
The nature of how we are as human beings is that we're much more interested in being critical rather than praising something.
running lakes perfect
I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects, like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve.
laughing people fans
My favourite people to follow on Twitter are... my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.
clothes shining body
Because I've always been a runner I love to feel that my body is shining on the inside. I wear baggy clothes, so it's not as though I like showing it off. I just like to know I'm great on the inside.
artist musician reputation
It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.
sea stories inspired
I wrote a lot of poetry that was based on stories of the sea and I was really inspired by that.
keep-smiling want pixies
I want to be more like Pixie Lott. She works really hard but always manages to keep smiling. She never complains.
writing alleviate i-realized
By the time I got writing 'Halcyon,' I was on a roll, and I realized I had so much to write about, I realized I had so much built up inside that I couldn't really alleviate before, and then all of a sudden it was like reservoir burst.
book kids knows
I was quite a weird kid because I didn't like getting presents. I don't know why. I just went for books all the time.
clever
I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.
writing reviews realising
I tend to write things and review it afterwards and realise what comes out. I very rarely ever write something and have to take it back.
running creativity romance
I guess I started running when I was about 18 and... I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.
fashion falling-in-love simple
I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.
