I don't feel embarrassed by any of the music that I like. I think it's all genuinely clever, good music.

I think it's cool to be a rock star; I don't think there are many. There aren't many who speak out and take risks. And I think that's important.
I hate the idea of people thinking that I'm just a little girl who goes into studios with pop producers, and they work their magic.
When you're growing up, I think there's this idea that the coolest people are the ones who are really rude and feverish. But I've come to realize that isn't cool.
I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.
I always think about fashion when it comes to making music and music videos... what the colours will look like, what the material will be, how will it work with the sound of the music.
I feel like the U.K. is a better breeding ground for pop, partially because the radio play is more broad and open to new ideas and sounds.
I made video art for quite a long time, and I made this video covering myself in burgers and dancing to Major Lazer and doing covers of Britney Spears songs... I can't remember how I got there, but my teacher said he'd have to fail me because it had mild nudity.
Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong year - I think it would have been cool to be alive in the '60s.
People would always ask me how I came up with my music and what it felt like to make music, and I would always see colours, and then I found out that that was synaesthesia. It helps me understand songs and what I like.
