It's healthy to admit you're not ok. 'It's ok not to be ok' it's brave. But don't let it win. Be sad. Have your moment, your day or week. Then do something about it and be happy. For yourself.
He didn't flinch, but in his soul he did.
Some of the stage outfits I've got are ridiculous. I'll lay out clothes to pack, and it'll look like Polly Pocket clothing - because it's all stretchy, it's tiny. I don't need a case when I tour; I can fit it all in my handbag.
I'm not afraid to have no make-up on and no hair. I just want to be stripped back.
My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.
It's really important to me that my niece and nephews can come and see my show, as can my grandad and nan. I love spending time with my family, and music has always bonded us.
I'm so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I'm really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same.
I had knockback after knockback before I got anywhere. After I got my first record deal I thought that was it, then Gut Records went into liquidation. I was 20. I had no idea what that meant. I had a few days to get myself out of that contract or my work would be owned by someone else.
The rollercoaster has its ups and downs, loops and twists but enjoy the ride. We are all on it together.
I'm someone who'd never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.
I am a dork in disguise; I love doing stupid stuff.
We're flying free like birds in the sky, because we're ALIVE.
I guess karma comes back around 'cause now I'm the one that's hurting
They're not bullying you because of you,they're bullying you because of how they are
