I like to experiment a lot, I just like to make myself look different to everyone else. Shopping at all different places from vintage to high-street, and then I just put it together myself.
When you see the mega-stars doing really, really well, it gives you hope that you could probably do that too.
I need to not be scared of not having someone there to back me up. I just need to tackle things on my own. I feel like I have the power in me to make it work.
I would hope to think my fans are full of attitude, are a bit vicious, and always fight for what they want. That's exactly what I'm going to give them.
I'm able to reach a wider audience, an older audience. I can gladly say that I'm definitely not a bubblegum princess anymore.
It's been great to come to the U.S. and not have people judge me because of what they saw or heard when I was 16 and on a TV show. They're actually judging me on the fact that I can sing and how my personality is now. Which I think is great.
I think the main big thing for me has been the acceptance from the U.S. That's still crazy to me. To come over to the U.S. and be a British girl and have all these people know who I am. It's unbelievable and it just seems to be getting better and better.
In this business it takes time to be really good - and by that time, you're obsolete.
I'm amusing and crazy on Twitter. I talk about important things, stupid things.
My passion lies with whatever I'm doing at the time... I only see what is front of me.
I've been famous my entire life; I don't know any other way.
I think I am a product of my mother's sensibilities and my mother's values. There has been lots of battling and lots of love and it's never an easy road for us. But in the deepest recesses, I do have my mother's values.
I keep coming back because I have no place else to go. What else would I do? I love to sing.
I have a problem with religion that makes it so, like, 'We are the ones. We are the chosen ones.'
