I had an amazing childhood and always loved to sing and dance, but there were moments where I had ups and downs with my health that often tested me as it does many people. I've never hidden the fact that my health was sometimes not on my side, but I've never let it define me or deter me from my dreams.
We all make mistakes. It's human. Just learn from them. Repeating them and being aware of it is the dangerous bit.
It's ok not to be ok. Just be true to who you are.
Trust Me. Life is not worth living feeling sad and down and lonely. Always be true to who you are.
I love cleaning, weird but true. It really relaxes me.
But I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing.'
When I was 10 or 11 people started saying there was something special about my voice. But when I was 15 or 16 is when I really thought my hobby could become my career.
I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I'm claustrophobic.
You should never, ever apologize for anything that makes you happy.
I want everybody to think I'm a hard worker as an aunt, a sister, a friend, a daughter, a niece, everything. I want to be great at every role, because every role in my life is as important as being Jessie J.
I'm glad I was faced with different cultures when I was growing up because I wasn't fazed by it. It has been a huge benefit to me; I feel comfortable wherever I go.
I'm not really the party person. I don't 'become myself' once I'm drunk. I don't use alcohol to be happy.
I just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tags.
