I suffer panic attacks which has made me really conscious about my fitness and I have become addicted to jogging. It might sound odd but a lot of good has come out of it. My fans send letters saying they have taken up jogging because I do it.

I've never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to be a famous person or anything like that, and I think my fans know that as well.

My favourite people to follow on Twitter are... my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.

My fans are so funny, they make me laugh so much. I've got some really, really, funny, clever fans.

Mumford & Sons' music appeals to a lot of America. I'm really proud of them.

My hairdresser in the U.K., Adam Reed, has his own line, Percy and Reed, and it's really good. And I use Moroccan Oil and Kerastase as well.

Maybe one day I'll make a record that's really mysterious and no one knows where it came from or what I wrote it about. But thus far, I've just wanted to explain everything properly.
diaries feels level stuff teenager time
I was a kind of angsty teenager and I would write diaries and write stuff down all the time. Sometimes I get to the level on stage where I'm singing and it feels heavy, but not always.
jamie love manager next
I used to make my manager Jamie not tell me where I was going to be the next day, because I was so afraid of flying and of anything. But now I love flying, I love working hard, I love being around the world.
My voice has been very, very produced, and very treated - but then, also, it hasn't.
human obsessed
I'm not afraid, as a writer, of being emotional. I'm obsessed with human emotion, body parts, physicality.
music people
People always try to find my agenda, but I don't really have one. It's safe to say that I make pop, but I think that I'm doing important music, too. I've just always done what I wanted to do.
almost annoying compared female quite work
I keep getting compared to Marina and the Diamonds because she's kind of in the same place as me at the moment. It's quite annoying being compared, actually, because it almost downgrades your work and makes you feel like you're just another female artist.
felt harder hit infatuated
Breakups just hit you harder when you're younger. When I was a teenager, it felt like the most depressing thing in the world if a boy I was infatuated with didn't like me back!
