I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.

I've really come into my own as an artist. I'm much more sure of my identity and understand it much better, and have accepted the fact that I like to jump around a lot in terms of who I am and what kind of music I create, and that it is okay - in fact, that is my main identity, the fact that I do that.

I've always been interested in how fast-moving our identity is and that I've never been able to pin down who I truly am. That inspires me to write, because I feel like that cements me a bit, in that I find my identity in being an artist.

I really like the look of the 1950s, lots of suburban Americana influences. I'm 5'4', so I like kitten heels occasionally because I can move around a bit easier, but pointy-toed pumps are very elongating.

I'm interested in how identity is transient. How do we know who we really are, when different situations and environments dictate how we behave? I'm interested in the role we all play. We spend our whole lives becoming ourselves when we are born as no one else.

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable. I am not a robot.

People are complex, and I think it's a huge element of what I do, because you have to balance out the fact that you talk about quite serious things with a sense of irony and tongue-in-cheek humor. That's my personality as well.

I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.

My biggest fear is love and getting hurt in love but still believing.

I think each human being wants to make their mark on the world in whatever way they can, and maybe everyone has a slight egomaniac inside of them.

[Being in the States] is almost like being on a holiday. It's kind of annoying because everyone's like Oh, you're so obsessed with America, but it's not really that. I just really enjoy being here - I'm not the first British artist to make music here and be inspired by the country.
