“I’m not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I’m not saying, ‘I’m sooo not famous,’ I’m trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.”

To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They’ve got their heads screwed on a lot better.

Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.

I’m my own worst critic, and if I don’t pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won’t be a happy girl.

You’ve got a degree in philosophy; so you think you’re cleverer than me. But I’m not just some drama queen. Cause it’s where you’re at, not where you’ve been.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I’ll never be bored of it.

The dark covers me and I cannot run now.

I can’t help you if you won’t help yourself.

I’m much healthier now.

It’s important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.

There’s no point in saying anything but the truth.

I’ve never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

I love to live and I live to love.

Sisters come before carpet burns and blisters.

I’d like to be remembered as someone who wasn’t satisfied with just one level of musicianship as someone who was a pioneer.

I never went round to loads of managers saying ‘this is what I have, this is my product and I’m going to be famous so you’d better sign me up.’ They came to me.

I would love to study guitar or trumpet.

Everything I’ve done has felt very natural, and it’s happened because it’s happened.

What distracts me from my reality is bigfoot. They are my celebrities.

I never really said I want to be a role model. But then when it happened I was so down for it.

When you’re famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.

It’s really fun to be on stage in front of people.

I love my fans. They’re the most beautiful thing in the entire world for me. Every single thing I do is for them.

Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

I don’t belong to anyone, but everybody knows my name.
