I've been in dance schools since I was four. I went to the Brit school. I did adverts and plays.

Whoopie doo guys, yes, I've dated girls and I've dated boys - get over it.

I have become a bit obsessed with eyebrows, I used to never have any and then I realised big eyebrows are good and now I'm an eyebrow fiend. Everyone comes to me to get their eyebrows done.

I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.

A hairdresser who did my hair said, You, my darling, have something that we call successful' hair, which is basically battered hair that's split and falling out in the back because you've had to blow-dry it every day. I don't want my hair falling out, so I wear wigs!

I remember while I was at school some of my Muslim friends talked about a handful of people spoiling things in every culture. Hatred or hurt or pain isn't specific to a religion. I think it's a matter of acceptance. The one thing the world has to accept is everybody is different. What is normal to us is different and unusual to somebody else.

I'd love to have a fashion range I've been dressed by the amazing Vivienne Westwood, and fashion is something I'm a huge fan of.

It's weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don't see the hundreds of people at a gig or the viewers on TV, you just write a song without any inhibitions or boundaries.

When I was 10 or 11 people started saying there was something special about my voice. But when I was 15 or 16 is when I really thought my hobby could become my career.

I'm not really the party person. I don't become myself once I'm drunk. I don't use alcohol to be happy.

My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.

There are a lot of people holding on to the old Jessie J - whatever that means - but I think there's a lot more people realizing what I'm about. I think people like it.

But I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing.'
Jessie J

I always imagine the world and myself above it and how minute one negative person's voice is in comparison to the amount of people that are in the world.

I like my life to be pure and clean and organised, and I like to have had eight hours' sleep a night. I honestly don't think I'd be as successful if I was a party animal. Because I don't think my personality would be as focused and open as it is.

I'm so hard on myself that when I'm in the studio, I'll write 10 songs and only use one. So those nine songs that are left over, I always think, 'Where could these go? Who could they be for?'

And that's the kind of thing people think, you know, that if you sign up to be a singer-songwriter you know how to deal with people setting up hate websites, or people being obsessed with you and crying when you touch them, but you don't, and you just have to deal with.
