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.

More quotes by Joss Stone
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.
Joss Stone
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
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.
Joss Stone
I'm supposed to be taking time off. But I'm still writing and I have this Gap advert lined up.
Joss Stone
There are people in England that claim benefits because they are too nervous to work, so they claim their benefits for anxiety and never have to go out side there free home.
Joss Stone
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.
Joss Stone
The only country that hasn't liked my music is my own.
Joss Stone
There is a silver lining to every cloud and there's some awesome songs that have come from some really like bad experiences, but they're great experiences 'cause then I've got some good songs so it's all good for me.
Joss Stone
Love #music. It will #love you back.
Joss Stone
I feel so, so lucky. Lucky because of many things.
Joss Stone
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?
Joss Stone
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
When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.
Joss Stone
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.
Joss Stone
Who says soul has only one colour?
Joss Stone
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
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.
Joss Stone
People say I'm the white Aretha Franklin. I wish I was her.
Joss Stone
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.
Joss Stone
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.
