“You should constantly write because your writing is always evolving and progressing. It’s really important to start writing young.”

I could always sing, from a really young age, but my voice was really weird. I used to make my mum turn up the radio every day in our house. She was well into music so I got that from her.

I feel like my figure is a challenge because I’m quite flat chested but I’ve got a booty so I’ve got to look for the right things.

I guess I’m just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.

My soul is to sell. The dark is too hard to beat ’cause they’re calling me.

I’ve just become quite fixated on the idea of calmness and peacefulness somewhere, someday.

I’ve never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to be a famous person or anything like that, and I think my fans know that as well.

Something funny always happens in every show in the UK and I genuinely love touring the UK because it’s where I’m from. I just get a warm feeling when I’m home.

The smallest changes, like I stopped eating meat and I’ve been doing different kinds of exercise like Yoga and stuff like that, little changes have made me feel a bit more at peace I think.

Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep.

It’s so important to take vitamins. People always get ill on tour because of the close proximity in the bus with everyone.

In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.

The feminist revolution had to be fought because women quite simply were stopped at a state of evolution far short of their human capacity.

I never leave anything behind. It’s like a history, a chain, a line of life, you just have to move and make new steps, and keep it evolving – but my soul is my soul.

I think if you’re not trying to change things a little bit, you’re not evolving.
