clever
I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.
fashion falling-in-love simple
I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.
song writing thinking
Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.
fashion song jobs
I just sing and write songs and wear what I want. It's quite a good job really. If I wanted to I suppose I could become more of a fashion icon, but singing is my thing.
real phones house
Every so often I'll go back down to earth and I'll make reference to a phone or a house or something, something that's a bit more real. But I suppose what that does, is it puts you in a surreal place but also my music doesn't get too carried away in that sense, which I quite like.
running creativity romance
I guess I started running when I was about 18 and... I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.
laughing people fans
My favourite people to follow on Twitter are... my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.
book kids knows
I was quite a weird kid because I didn't like getting presents. I don't know why. I just went for books all the time.
writing reviews realising
I tend to write things and review it afterwards and realise what comes out. I very rarely ever write something and have to take it back.
clothes shining body
Because I've always been a runner I love to feel that my body is shining on the inside. I wear baggy clothes, so it's not as though I like showing it off. I just like to know I'm great on the inside.
keep-smiling want pixies
I want to be more like Pixie Lott. She works really hard but always manages to keep smiling. She never complains.
writing alleviate i-realized
By the time I got writing 'Halcyon,' I was on a roll, and I realized I had so much to write about, I realized I had so much built up inside that I couldn't really alleviate before, and then all of a sudden it was like reservoir burst.
artist musician reputation
It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.
jobs couple home
I never remember having a plan. All I could think about was how I was going to afford to get into college or where I was going to stay because I hated being at home. I didn't really have time to think about anything in the future. I didn't think about a career or anything. I went to uni, got a couple of jobs, so I sort of funded it myself.
