Singer

There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready.

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.

I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.

I'm really happy to be me, and I'd like to think people like me more because I'm happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything.

You have to prioritize what you stress about when you have a child.

Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.

I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing.

I don't want to be in everyone's face. I'm a big music fan, and I get really pissed off when it gets like that... and I don't want people to get like that with me.

I don't date celebrities.

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.

I am quite loud and bolshie. I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.

I think it's shameful when you sell out. It depends what kind of artist you wanna be, but I don't want my name anywhere near another brand.

I love a card. You know, cards? At birthdays? I collect them.

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 don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don't find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.

My life is full of drama, and I don't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like.

I am quite loud and bolshie.

I love a bit of drama. That's a bad thing. I can flip really quickly.

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.
