More quotes by 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
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
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'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.
Jessie J
He didn't flinch, but in his soul he did.
Jessie J
It's okay not to be okay
Jessie J
The journey is more important than where you end up.
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
It's really important to me that my niece and nephews can come and see my show, as can my grandad and nan. I love spending time with my family, and music has always bonded us.
Jessie J
During my stage shows, I am so energetic. It's constant! I just don't stand still. I actually got given a mic stand from my team to say 'Just calm down. Stand still for at least two songs.' But now I just pick it up and walk around with it.
Jessie J
I wasn't always someone who was talented. It was more that I was loud and loved a challenge.
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 used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking.
Jessie J
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.
Jessie J
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, Just be true to who you are
Jessie J
Never expect, never presume, always work hard and always be true to who you 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
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
When I was nine, I was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat and was prescribed beta blockers, which had the side effect of turning my skin green. Looking like Shrek's little sister at school wasn't the easiest thing.
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.
