No one had much faith in me because I was so young. They imagined a little brat with a flash-in-the-pan single. It was inevitable... Thankfully, I proved people wrong.

People need help, advice and love, not websites telling you how to lose your last pound, or scantily clad, deeply anorexic celebrities parading around flaunting their golden bones.

A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don't have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.

Weight doesn't matter as long as you're happy with yourself.

I was very similar at 19. I wanted something to happen in life, I wanted a bit more. I wanted to find someone who could challenge my ideas. So I definitely tapped into that.

The common people, on the whole, are still living in the world of absolute good and evil from which the intellectuals have long since escaped.

The painting is like a thread that runs through all the reasons for all the other things that make one's life.

Ain't no money like music money, because music money don't stop.

The soul wanders in the dark, until it finds love. And so, wherever our love goes, there we find our soul.
