I do my own make-up a lot of the time, and I'm very involved in what I wear.
I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I'm claustrophobic.
I love getting dressed up, but I want to be remembered for my singing.
Sometimes you have to be a diva. All the artists I admire from Madonna to Whitney to Mariah have all been called divas. If you are strong, if you have vision, if you are an artist, you have to do what you believe in. And if you get called a diva for it, then so what.
The rollercoaster has its ups and downs, loops and twists but enjoy the ride. We are all on it together.
However old you are, however much you love life, however happy you are, how healthy you are, it doesn’t matter. Nothing’s guaranteed. And I think it made me want to take that risk to expose myself as me and not as a version of myself. I don’t become Jessie J. I might put a nicer pair of heels on and a cooler outfit, but I’m still that naughty girl who likes a slice of cheesecake on my day off.
It's okay not to be okay... Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart but tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, there's nothing wrong with who you are.
Life isn't about winning it's about what you learn and how much you can grow.
It's okay not to be okay
I'm not really the party person. I don't 'become myself' once I'm drunk. I don't use alcohol to be happy.
If I did meet somebody, I would only ever make room for someone that loved me how I deserved to be loved. Until then I've got my shoes, I've got my album, my dog.
I just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tags.
I like my life to be pure and clean and organised, and I like to have had eight hours' sleep a night. I honestly don't think I'd be as successful if I was a party animal. Because I don't think my personality would be as focused and open as it is.
I always imagine the world and myself above it and how minute one negative person's voice is in comparison to the amount of people that are in the world.
