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.
The best gift a fan could give me is undeniable support.
When I was nine, I was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat and was prescribed beta blockers, which had the side effect of turning my skin green. Looking like Shrek's little sister at school wasn't the easiest thing.
I have calmed down my look. Is it really necessary to wear all that jewelry and makeup at 7 A.M.? When you're tired, you start to over-compensate by wearing too much bling.
I've been in dance schools since I was four. I went to the Brit school. I did adverts and plays.
Songs lay a foundation of who I am going to be forever.
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 am a very honest person, and I can only say there are moments in my life where I really did think I was being me in the sense of my morals and beliefs and the way I acted. But when I look back at certain things that I wore and my hair and make-up, I was like, 'Whoa! That wasn't me!' But I didn't know it back then.
I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres.
I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.
I think the best way to have confidence is not to allow everyone else's insecurities to be your own.
My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.
I was obsessed with the Spice Girls! I always wanted to be Sporty. Or Posh, but I wasn't pretty enough.
I'm not afraid to have no make-up on and no hair. I just want to be stripped back.
