aim couple life sustain
The aim for me is to have a long career. I've got a couple of kids, and so I can't really be a fashion because I have to sustain a life for my children.
believe good grew knew needed sing
When I was on the X-Factor, I found that I grew a lot as a performer. I knew I could sing but I didn't believe in myself enough... I needed to hear that I was good.
kids played
We grew up in Woolton, Liverpool. We didn't have much, but it was irrelevant. We played out a lot with all the kids on the street.
definitely encourage future home jobs kids nine saturday sheltered work
Work made me more streetwise because you can be so sheltered at home. I'd definitely encourage my kids Lillie and Karl, who are nine and seven, to get Saturday jobs in the future.
amazing bodies distracted sad stuff women
Women's bodies are amazing; what our bodies can do is incredible, so it's sad that we get distracted - all this stuff about being skinny, be this, be that - they're all distractions.
child girls hated life people pregnant ruins
What I hated then - and hate now - is the way that people say to girls like me who get pregnant young that it ruins your life. Having a child doesn't ruin your life - having a child is a blessing.
people
When you're recording classic songs, you've got to kind of make them your own, and you can't always worry about what people are going to think.
people pop recognise rita
There's certain people that do pop well. Beyonce's one of them, Rihanna, Rita Ora, I could go on and on. You've got to recognise what your talent and niche is.
love music
That's what I've tried to do: I've tried to make music that I really love.
change human nature people please time trying win
Some people won't like me; that's just human nature. I battled with that for years, trying to please people, but now I haven't got time to win people over! I've got nappies to change!
bought loads needed phase worthless
After 'X Factor,' I got loads of gigs. Then I went on holiday just after the tour and bought my Rolex in Tenerife. I needed to go through that phase - splurge and see that it's worthless - to get it out of my system.
album cool definitely single work
I think there's definitely a dance album or at least single in me somewhere. I would want to work with a really cool Ibiza DJ, though.
learnt people society
I think, even in society, people get so caught up in how they look. I think I let that go, and I've learnt to not care.
allowed love
I think that's what I love about jazz is that you can do what you want, and you're allowed to mess up.
