Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.
Some days I totally appreciate everything that's happening to me, and some days I feel everyone's waiting for me to mess up.
I feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn't say in real life.
I think I feel in love with words before I feel in love with music.
Just keep doing 'you', and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you.
Even if something really hurt you, if it made you feel something it was worth it.
In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.
I don't live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free.
I need that unexplainable spark. I need to see someone and feel 'oh-oh'. It's only happened a few times in my life.
Words are everything to me. Words can build you up and feel so good. On the flip side, words can absolutely demolish you.
I don't compare myself to anyone else; I don't make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that's okay by me.
Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.
I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I've read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you're like, 'How do you have? Name one thing wrong with yourself,' and they could name a handful.
I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.
