I have become a bit obsessed with eyebrows. I used to never have any, and then I realised big eyebrows are good, and now I'm an eyebrow fiend. Everyone comes to me to get their eyebrows done.
You should never, ever apologize for anything that makes you happy.
I want everybody to think I'm a hard worker as an aunt, a sister, a friend, a daughter, a niece, everything. I want to be great at every role, because every role in my life is as important as being Jessie J.
I've grown up a lot, and I've realized that what I need to make myself happy is the people around you.
I'm the most un-diva-ish person you'll meet. I'm never rude to people and I am always on time.
I'm an artist, but I'm also a businesswoman, and sometimes you have to play hard.
I have always been the first on the dance floor. Before fame, people thought it made me a good laugh; now, people point and call me an attention seeker! I'm very aware of the way people can view me, but I'm very aware that I have to just enjoy my life.
During my stage shows, I am so energetic. It's constant! I just don't stand still. I actually got given a mic stand from my team to say 'Just calm down. Stand still for at least two songs.' But now I just pick it up and walk around with it.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, Just be true to who you are
They're not bullying you because of you,they're bullying you because of how they are
Sexuality shouldn't define anyone. It doesn't define me. Love should be at the core of what you do.
And I definitely do that very British thing of, take things with a pinch of salt, stiff upper lip, you know what I mean?
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.
I can play the air guitar really, really well.
