I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong
Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it's sparse. There's nothing that's pretentious or planned. It's just so gutsy.
Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it's a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don't know why.
Sometimes my songs wander off a bit and are not always coherent.
You have to prioritize what you stress about when you have a child.
Would I show my body off if I was thinner? Probably not, because my body is mine. I think I remind everyone of themselves. I'm not saying everyone is my size, but it's relatable because I'm not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable.
I don't like going to the gym.
I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing. I write about love, and everyone knows what it is like to have your heart broken.
I'm really happy to be me, and I'd like to think people like me more because I'm happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything.
I want to go and see things as a fan again. I am a fan, but I can't remember what it feels like to be a fan anymore. Because I've become an artist. I've become the artist.
I can't believe I did a peace sign on TV - like Ringo Starr!
I'm very confident. Even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight.
There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready.
I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.
