I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever.

It’s not stopping me from doing anything and I don’t find that kind of thing attractive. I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I’m very proud of that.

No matter what you look like, I think the key is to be happy with yourself. Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. People are starting to go on about my weight but I’m not going to change my size because they don’t like the way I look. People think that I’m fucking miserable.

The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I’m writing about, and that’s why they always end up being so personal – because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, ‘Oh my God, this song is totally about me.’
