Quote

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.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.

If you give yourself too much time, you kind of over-obsess about the music. It's not supposed to be like that.

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.

Who says soul has only one colour?

I don't like listening to music that isn't real.

I like to make sure I don't sing songs that are like self hating and feeling sorry for yourself 'cause that's not the kind of legacy I want to leave really. I want people to feel like strength, especially young women.

When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.

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.

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

I feel so, so lucky. Lucky because of many things.

The only country that hasn't liked my music is my own.

My family fight, that's the way it is. We're not common as muck or anything but we do have a little fight now and then.

It strikes me as weird that a 25 year old man would even find a 16 year old attractive.

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.

If I could be a doctor and save lives I would, but I can't so I sing songs.

The fact is when I get pissed off about something or something awful has happened, I just say, 'You know what? Thank you very much. Thank you for the lyrics. Because that is exactly what you just gave me.' There's no real negative then. So if something happens, I don't cry about it. I just find myself a pen and I figure it out.

I've got a checklist of things I want - including a Brit, a Grammy, an Oscar and a white poodle. Sometimes it gets lonely, and I want a baby too! I'm ticking things off the list.

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.

People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.

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.
