I've been going to Bicester Village since I was young. My mum and dad really loved that place, and I always used to stock up on clothes. I love the fact that it supports great British designers.
My dad took on every job he could get. He worked like mad. But then, at some point, he had saved up enough to open his first pub.
My dad wanted me to go down a more academic route. He is very much about sticking to the rule book and sticking to the blueprint of a successful career.
It was my dad's idea to change my name from Sahatciu to Ora. He said it would be easier to pronounce.
I love eating at my dad's pub, the Queens Arms in Kilburn. It does a traditional Albanian spinach pie.
My mum and my dad are the sweetest couple.
Fashion is this obsessive narrative that people don't understand but they can't stop looking at.
Between sixteen and eighteen, I was singing anywhere I could, in bars or down at the pub.
Beyonce is this massive star, but she's incredibly humble. But it's weird because even though I love her, she's my boss's wife.
I've loved music. It was my first everything, but fashion and clothes is just the next step.
I used to do ballet all the time, and I do this ballet workout: it is an amazing thing called Barrecore. It is like pulsing. It turns your legs into, like, jelly, and you feel like a Bambi; you lose so much control over your body because you're pulsing so much.
I used to wait in line for Jordans. That's how much of a freak I was.
Sometimes I see people writing the most ridiculous things about me.
Everyone wants a love song you can dance to.
