People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.
Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.
The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I'm writing about, and that's why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, 'Oh my God, this song is totally about me.'
I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you
I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.
Whenever I'm about to eat meat I always see my little dog's eyes.
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior, Standing on my own two feet.
I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don’t want that in my life.
I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.
I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.
I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.
Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.
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.
Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. I don't find it encouraging...I just stand there and sing. I'm not worried that I'm a 'plus size' and so much bigger than other artists. No matter what you look like the key is to be happy with yourself.
