I love a kind of androgynous look and then let the accessories / clothes shape it.

I think books make you think in a different way than movies and documentaries.

Everything has always been so organic for me; I have no idea what I would be doing if it wasn't for music. Music forever!

A lot of my songs are about being a teenager with a tornado in your head.

I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would actually be singing on a top 10 Billboard song.

I really like FKA twigs. She's wonderful. She's so cool. Like, insanely cool.

I've been in many bands and every time I try to be a character that's not me it has failed miserably.

If you stick with one sound and one way of working, how will you ever progress?

Life was so easy as a child, maybe you fall over and you cry but you get back up again.

I'm such a pleaser - I want everyone around me to be happy - so it took a while for me to get to a point where I could say 'no, I need to be happy with everything that I put out.' I want it to be right.

I've always wanted to make songs.

I definitely think the best songs are written when you feel something strongly.

I do always like to sing Lana Del Rey, just because I know all her songs. But people at karaoke always want something up-tempo. Sometimes the energy level will change from 'party' to 'emotional,' which I think is great but some people don't.

The first song I ever wrote was called 'Because I Love You.' I was very inspired by the Spice Girls and they were singing about love and stuff and I was seven.

You start off at an early age dreaming about love, but you have no idea how it will be.

I love those days when you get up super early and get stuff done.

I love to watch people not care too much about the choreography, or if they sing perfectly, or if the right label people are there to watch them. It's just about letting go and being crazy and engaging people in dance and madness - being a human instead of a doll.

My music is about all these things that happen to you while growing up in search for some kind of truth.

The thing I loved about my old punk band, it wasn't really about being vulnerable, it was about shouting and being fun and being aggressively political, which I thought was really cool and really fit that energy.

Back in the day I had a tendency to fall in love with people who were very challenging to be in a relationship with. But truth was I just loved the fire and the drama.

I've always really liked the idea of an artist name, like a cover-up, even though in my music I'm being very personal in the stuff that I write about.

I was very ambitious in my dream of being a pop star.

My parents would use all of their money for us to go new and exciting places, instead of a new television or a big car.

Not to be a bummer, but heartbreak is great for inspiration - we all know that - and it's really hard to write songs if I go through a phase where I don't feel much.

Owning flatware makes me feel like a grown-up. That and knowing that flatware is called flatware.

I think around 2015 and 2016 I ended up in an identity crisis, artistically. I didn't know what direction I was going in. I'm a perfectionist and I want to be truthful to my beliefs, if you know what I mean.

I've always liked the idea of being different.

You have to dare to totally be yourself and go 100% with your heart and guts.

I didn't fit the mold of a popstar.

I love Duolingo. I'm learning Spanish on it, and it's such a good way to pass time on flights or the bus.

There's so much talk about female artists doing their own thing but being super supportive, coming together and doing projects together. I love that whole wave.

Ever since I was 19, I've been in a relationship, to be honest. I always go from one to another, for some weird reason, and I always find someone where I connect on a personal level.

You get very inspired on tour.

Obviously I am a huge Major Lazer fan.

You don't want political acts to become something you just have to do in order to look good.

The older I get the more I become aware that I'm a woman.

I try not to spend too much time online but at the same time if I didn't, I'd be isolated.

I was a bit of a tomboy.

For a long time I wasn't actually listening to pop. But when I got back into electronic and hip-hop stuff, I rediscovered my passion for pop music.

I'm a huge fan of the Moomins and my fans are called Momins. They're the best, so creative, talented and sweet - just like Moomins.

The hardest thing about being a woman is different for everyone. For me, it's the mirage of 'having it all' somewhere off in the distance. I think in many ways you do have to choose.

I want to be myself otherwise what's the point.

I dream of doing something where people are like: 'That's different, but it's still something I can relate to,' because that's the way of moving forward.

I was a trouble teenager. I was uncontrollable, but I haven't done anything that I'm not proud of.

Even though I have a huge love for alternative music and punk music, particularly, I have always had the love for pop music inside of me. Therefore actually it felt kind of natural for me to have different projects with different genres.

It's such a horrible feeling to not be honest to who you are.

I think everyone grew up thinking that by their mid-20s they'd have everything sorted out, but I know I don't.

The songs I write are about how I feel and the vibe I'm in. So whether I'm on a tour or at home it's like all about how you feel in the certain time you sit down.

A fear of not being good enough? But that's what drives me.

Obviously there's so many great artists out there that I'd love to work with.
