I always have to pretend I'm somebody else to give the best performance. It kind of feels like I'm acting it's definitely an exaggerated version of me. I'm a very normal, down-to-earth person, but I wanted the videos to be striking, so I have to lay it on a little bit.

I started meeting the right people, like [producer] Dave [Okumu], who explained to me how songwriting is really simple - just like shitting, he said. You gotta let it all out. When he put it like that, however disgusting it is, it made a lot of sense to me.

I went to university and studied English literature, and I forgot about music. I was gonna be a journalist. But then I decided to try and be a backing singer, and my mum was like, Go for it. If that didn't work, I was gonna go to law school. I was just being boringly sensible trying to be a singer felt a bit indulgent.
