Musician

Just because I might be bored doesn't mean I have to look boring. I'd rather look fabulous, like I'm having a great time.

You can't like everything! You hate some stuff! Say what you hate! Like, I hate Pitbull, and I don't care!

In the same way that musicians inspire me, artists and photographers like David LaChapelle influence me with their visuals. A photographer like LaChapelle creates an entirely new and unique visual for their work, and that's what I'd like to do with the Charli XCX world as well.

I'm not super easy to talk to a lot of the time. I'm just kind of weird.

I love karaoke and totally hog the mic when I go out and do it with my friends.

Whether I'm writing for myself or someone else, I'll always write a song that I would feel comfortable singing.

The first show I did with Coldplay was really scary.

I loved Justice and Uffie and everyone signed to the label Ed Banger. They were really influential to me when first started making music.

I've never conformed to what my record label has said and, yes, that has meant that it's been a long journey for me.

I see music in colours. I love music that's black, pink, purple or red - but I hate music that's green, yellow or brown.

For me, I'm very visually inspired. I'm more inspired by photographs and movies than I am by listening to other music, so for me to create an amazingly intense visual live show is a dream, so I would love to be on that level for sure.

I think that U.K. audiences, in general, are very closed off. Very judgmental.

I don't want to sell my soul or anything, but to go on a huge tour would be next level.

I make pop music, but I do it on my own terms. I'll never play the game, so to speak, just for success. I'll always follow my heart and make the music I want to make.

I'm not a dumb idiot just because of what I wear.

My philosophy is to treat people how you want to be treated.

Being nice is awesome. You have more fun; you meet more people.

'True Romance' was definitely, in part, still me finding my voice as a writer. I was nervous, and I was a lot more shy. The album sounds bruised.

I've been really inspired by Paris Hilton, small dogs, and a glitter, luxe lifestyle.

I want to have a publishing company and a record label, and I want to manage five artists... eventually.
