Feeling comfortable in my own skin has never been easy for me.
Oh. Yes. There. Is. A. Lot of pressure. As a solo singer. Absolutely.
I love going to my supermarket. Sounds so rock 'n' roll, eh?
It's a huge move for me to be going solo, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's also quite nerve-racking having been surrounded by six friends for four years, but I love the new single and other material I've been working on and we're all very supportive of each other.
I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)
I'd rather stay out of the limelight until I've done something I feel proud of.
It's not what you wear it's how you wear it, is what I say.
Of course it's fantastic to have bands formed in garages, but there is a market for other types of music.
My personal trainer is an ex-dancer so we do a lot of ballet and jazz.
Ideally, I would love to mix singing and acting, but you can only be a pop star for so many years. I mean, at 30 it's a little bit sad, right?
I do love being solo because I can have more of my own creative input to every aspect of my career.
There are so many great artists and most of them are women, but that's good - the more the merrier!
I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports, I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.
I was always very determined and ambitious, and I knew I would do something that would let me travel and stuff, but I didn't know really know what I would do to get there.
