More quotes by Jessie J
I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling I really enjoy it.
Jessie J
My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.
Jessie J
Being perfect is boring. It's the imperfections that make us perfect.
Jessie J
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.
Jessie J
I'm not really the party person. I don't become myself once I'm drunk. I don't use alcohol to be happy.
Jessie J
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!
Jessie J
I'm not afraid to have no make-up on and no hair. I just want to be stripped back.
Jessie J
I used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking.
Jessie J
When I look back, I can see why people thought I was aggressive. My first single, 'Do It Like A Dude,' resulted in a lot of misconceptions about me. I'm confident - but I'm not arrogant.
Jessie J
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.
Jessie J
I am a very honest person, and I can only say there are moments in my life where I really did think I was being me in the sense of my morals and beliefs and the way I acted. But when I look back at certain things that I wore and my hair and make-up, I was like, 'Whoa! That wasn't me!' But I didn't know it back then.
Jessie J
As an artist, I try and be controversial, and I have been a bit offensive at times. I have a view on the burka, and I'm sure a few of the Muslim girls and their families would have a view of me on stage in next to nothing!
Jessie J
They're not bullying you because of you,they're bullying you because of how they are
Jessie J
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.
Jessie J
I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
Jessie J
I wasn't always someone who was talented. It was more that I was loud and loved a challenge.
Jessie J
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.
Jessie J
I'm not a model, I'm an artist. In one of my videos, I'm doing this shot of me with no make-up on where I've just woken up, and I don't think a lot of people would be comfortable enough to do that. But that's the way I look. This is who I am. Let's enjoy it. Let's just live life to the full while we're all here.
Jessie J
He didn't flinch, but in his soul he did.
Jessie J
I'm so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I'm really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same.
Jessie J
