When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.
Joss Stone
Image
There's always a silver lining to every cloud and everything has to happen for a reason and if everything's really challenging, then you can make it into a positive.
Joss Stone
Image
I feel like I'm a quick learner and I'm also very quick to forget. That's why I can't play an instrument because I can't bloody remember it.
Joss Stone
Image
If you give yourself too much time, you kind of over-obsess about the music. It's not supposed to be like that.
Joss Stone
Image
If you remember one thing from talking to me, remember this: I am just a girl who makes noises - and I'm incredibly lucky that people happen to like those noises.

The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.

It's nice to know that you're worth something and music really does put that kind of light back into you. Well, it does for me anyway. I've been through some very interesting times in my life and there is certain songs that I go to and I'm like, ok, it's not that bad.

Madonna's not the best singer in the world, but she was awesome with her entertainment and all of her shock tactics and stuff and that's where it began. She then inspired all sorts of other girls to do that. But I don't know, I just think music's kind of important too. So you've gotta know where that line is especially when you are good at singing.

It's not a deliberate thing. It's not like I was rejecting the UK, which is what the papers said. It's just that when you spend a lot of time in your formative years around an accent, you're going to pick it up. I had been living in LA for a bit and that's what happened.

As a singer, I've always said, Yes, I smoke weed, when I'm asked. Of course I say yes, because why wouldn't I smoke weed? There are many reasons not to, though not that many compared to the reasons to do it. I've always been open about it ... but people go, Hippie! No, not listening to you, and I think that's a bloody shame.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.
Joss Stone
Image
I would never want something I'm wearing or the way I'm dancing or something to overshadow what I'm doing. I'd rather grab people's attention with my voice.
Joss Stone
Image
I don't like listening to music that isn't real.
Joss Stone
Image
I really love art and I always have in every single different form and I just hope that I'm able to give some art that will touch some people and help them to be more positive and stronger.

People started saying I was ignoring my country, making up stories about me. Ludicrous things, like that I throw tea on my assistants.

People say I'm the white Aretha Franklin. I wish I was her.
Joss Stone
Image
I like many different things you know so I'm probably going to experiment, and if I didn't I'd be a little bit strange and boring and stiff and kind of dead, and I'm very not that.
Joss Stone

If you capture the first thought that you have when you're creating, and then play that to people, it's kind of like the listeners are part of that beginning. And that's the most exciting part.

Love #music. It will #love you back.

It's sad that people listen to music and decide how the singer should look.
