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.

I wanted out of my record deal with EMI. They wanted me to record one type of album I wanted to record the type of music I wanted to make.

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.

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

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.

I think that people are having to do like really crazy things to shock people now, to get people's attention and it kind of, it's this way in lots of different aspects of life. You know, people fight for attention. It's competitive. So they need to be the one that stands out.

People say I'm the white Aretha Franklin. I wish I was her.

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

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.

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

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

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

The musicians one day are going to listen to me.

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.

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

I'm supposed to be taking time off. But I'm still writing and I have this Gap advert lined up.

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.

If I was a person that felt success is money, and for some people it is, I won't yuck someone's yum - if that's your thing, that's your thing. Go for it. Make as much money as you can. I don't care. Not my thing. My thing is something else. So I don't miss that. At all. Who needs it? How much money do you really need?

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.

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.
