I love pink – pink’s my favourite. I hardly ever – weirdly – wear it, but I love the colour pink.
I like being by the ocean.
I think, it is a challenge to get critics or whoever to see past what you wear and makeup and the way you look and just concentrate on the music.
I was super brainy and a proper geek at school, but there would always be a boy. But that sort of obsession did turn me into a songwriter. My writing has always come from that feeling of infatuation.
I think all the covers I do have nice sentiments, particularly ‘Your Song.’ People write me very sweet messages about that song, though I’m sure there are people out there saying that I’ve ruined it too!
I start really missing London when I go away. I have a little flat, but very central. I live above a pub and you’d think it’d be a nightmare, but I like hearing the music and it’s quite comforting.
Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it’s like your body will work against you.
I’ve always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers – whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.
I’d call what I do pop music, but it’s folky and electronic and it doesn’t really sound like much else.
I think hype is a good thing. You need it and it’ll teach you valuable things and you’ll grow stronger, which is what I’ve done.
Bjork, I’d love to do something with her. I’d love to do some sort of crazy orchestral choir thing with her.
I’d like to look like Madonna when I’m her age. I also look at athletes and love their bodies. I’ve always wanted to be muscly, not skinny. A lot of women yo-yo around, but I’m always aware if I’m getting a bit out of shape. I never look at the scales but I can just tell. It goes on my tum and bum.
I’m really proud of ‘Bright Lights’ because I was still in the mind frame of my first album when I was putting it together, but next time I want to display something different. I don’t want to be as young, immature and all about boys!
The smallest changes, like I stopped eating meat and I’ve been doing different kinds of exercise like Yoga and stuff like that, little changes have made me feel a bit more at peace I think.
In Australia and New Zealand, and New Zealand especially, I always find everyone is so nice and friendly. It’s one of the few places that I remember visually, like I remember where I stayed and my surroundings – and that’s a good sign, because I’ve got a terrible memory. I’m looking forward to it!
I’m a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.
I’m quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world, really. So in that sense I’ve got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I don’t really have to do much else.
I’ve learned not to let it be the end of the world if a boy doesn’t like you. I used to put so much effort into boys. I started playing guitar because I wanted to impress this boy. Then, I ended up in love with guitar and I didn’t care about the boy anymore.
I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.
I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end for I am not prepared, I hope i’ll get the chance to be someone, to be human, look what we’ve done.
