Musician

I wrote a song for Icona Pop which boosted my confidence quite a lot.

I was never the cool kid in school, and loads of people told me that I was weird, that I dressed uncool and did uncool things, that I was too nice, too happy.

I don't think that I'm a pop star. On paper, I'm bad at being a pop star with the conventional idea people have.

I think debate is good. Everyone has an opinion, and it's definitely healthy to voice those.

I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground.

I want to share the experiences I've had.

The scenes in 'The Virgin Suicides' where Elle Fanning is ice skating are really amazing.

To be honest, my usual makeup is the same as in my music video looks.

My family is average. I didn't have a crazy life as a kid.

My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music.

One thing I don't understand is how people want you to replicate your past successes. Being an artist should be about freedom and not just becoming one thing, because I think that's terrible and boring.

Obviously, getting a number in the charts is a nice thing but the cherry on the cake rather than the main cake.

There's something about girls together, uniting, that I just thought was cool.

I count myself as not only just an artist, not only as a singer, but a business woman. I write my own songs; I write my own video treatments, manage other artists. I write for other artists; it's not just about getting on stage and singing a song.

I really love Grimes, Niki & the Dove, stuff like that.
