came money needed work
I came from nothing. We didn't have money, so I started work at 14 because I really needed the money.
quick
For me, it's not about quick grabs and quick sales; it's about having a sound that will last and sustain.
business understand
After the 'X Factor,' there were opportunities everywhere. It was all there waiting for me to enjoy. I didn't understand business.
happened people poor stuff
A lot of negative stuff has happened to me - that's why I'm tough - but I don't want people to be like, 'Oh, poor Becky,' because I'm not a victim.
cake finding ice love machine running time
I've got a running machine which I try and use, but it's just finding the time. Don't get me wrong, I love cake and ice cream; I'm the kind of girl that, if I want something, I'll have it.
added bedroom came dramas fell girl happier home life love music naive perform ready sing singing walking
I was naive in that I thought I could just sing and perform and do what I had always wanted to do all my life. But I wasn't ready for all the added dramas that came along. There were times I fell out of love with music and thought about walking away. I thought I was happier when I was that girl at home in my bedroom singing into my hairbrush.
best definitely developed family few foot industry learning music people steep supportive surround tough
I think this industry can be tough on everyone. You have to surround yourself with supportive people and know when to put your foot down and do what's best for you and your family. The first few years in the music industry can be a steep learning curve, and I've definitely developed a thicker skin!
hard music naturally
You have to be really strong in the music industry, and I'm naturally very timid. That was really hard for me. You have to be tough. You have to make decisions and be a businesswoman.
fiercely gives instill kids less main mum protective trait
I think being a mum gives you extra qualities. I'm more feisty, fiercely protective and less selfish. The main trait I want to instill in my kids is kindness. I think it's the most important thing. If you're kind, you'll go a long way.
concern lost money opinion realise time
The first time I had money, I was extravagant, but then you realise it's not just about that. If I lost it all tomorrow, it wouldn't be me that's hurt, it would be my babies. It would be more about people's opinion of me that would concern me.
accepting grown imperfect insecure
I've just grown as a person, accepting my flaws as well. Before I was very insecure and I used to just hide, and now I just accept that I'm an imperfect human.
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.
good holiday musical positive sorrow
What I loved with Billie Holiday is she had a good way of parlaying the sorrow with a positive musical twist.
