More quotes by Jessie J
And I definitely do that very British thing of, take things with a pinch of salt, stiff upper lip, you know what I mean?
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've been in dance schools since I was four. I went to the Brit school. I did adverts and plays.
Jessie J
I used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking.
Jessie J
He didn't flinch, but in his soul he did.
Jessie J
The journey is more important than where you end up.
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.
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 always wanted to be an artist being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.

Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home and that's where the problem starts - because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views.
Jessie J
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?'
Jessie J
My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.
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
I'm not afraid to have no make-up on and no hair. I just want to be stripped back.
Jessie J
I never complain that I'm tired, because I know as soon as I get a good nine hours' sleep, I'm cool.
Jessie J
It's okay not to be okay
Jessie J
They're not bullying you because of you,they're bullying you because of how they are
Jessie J
Sometimes you have to be a diva. All the artists I admire from Madonna to Whitney to Mariah have all been called divas. If you are strong, if you have vision, if you are an artist, you have to do what you believe in. And if you get called a diva for it, then so what.
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 also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
