Nothing that I wouldn't do, to make you feel my love
I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.
I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
Regrets and Mistakes, they're Memories made
A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion.
I do get massively distracted when I've got someone in my life, which I can't afford to do right now...besides, no one treats me as well as I do.
I've always got on better with boys. Most of my friends are boys. Like, if I have children, I want five boys. Boys love their mothers whereas girls can be so mean to each other.
I mean, the thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.
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 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'd love to be an artist always, but if no one wants me, I'd love to write songs for other people, be a manager, nurture new talent.
I don't like going to the gym.
My worst fear is my music won't connect with the public.
I don't want to be in everyone's face. I'm a big music fan, and I get really pissed off when it gets like that and I don't want people to get like that with me.
