I quite like doing laundry. I find it quite like relaxing.

I really just want to change the way women think about themselves. A lot of young girls are quite lost.

Females should stand by each other, especially in an industry which seems to try so hard to pin us up against each other and make us fight. It's not about that for me. I refuse to be sucked into a twisted world of insecurity and lose who I am.

My hair is naturally super curly. But I really don't do so much to it. I just sleep on it and see what happens.

I was 15 when I started making music properly.

I've actually done a cover of 'Train in Vain' by The Clash with Viv Albertine - which was originally written about her.

I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.

I always think about fashion when it comes to making music and music videos... what the colours will look like, what the material will be, how will it work with the sound of the music.

When I was younger, I was addicted to the idea of becoming a rapper.

I feel like I'm a pop star without being a diva.

I really just want to change the way women think about themselves.

I always Google myself. It's horrible.

Some people think of feminine as just being pretty and quiet and sweet, but I also think being feminine is being angry and also being sexy and aggressive and passionate.

I think what women think is sexy is what is sexy. Girls eating pizza are massively sexy.

I'll listen to 3 artists on repeat for more than a month.

Just because I might be bored doesn't mean I have to look boring. I'd rather look fabulous, like I'm having a great time.

A sold-out crowd is better than a number one. But being in the studio is better than all of that.

I actually think it doesn't even matter what age you are or what sex - though that does play into it sometimes - you always have to fight in any kind of creative world because nobody knows your own brain and your own creative ideas better than you do.

I'm just not very good at being happy all the time.

I think the best people are the ones who are just as nice and fun. This is really cheesy, but you only have one life - why spend most of it pretending to be cool?

I've never conformed to what my record label has said and, yes, that has meant that it's been a long journey for me.

I'm not good at being a picture-perfect pop star, happy all the time. If I'm having a bad day, I can't pretend. I'm always a bit unhappy, but that's just me. I like dwelling in my sadness.

I'm not super easy to talk to a lot of the time. I'm just kind of weird.

Making my first record, I was really inspired by all the color palettes Sofia Coppola has in her films.

When I was younger, I was a rave kid trapped inside a singer/songwriter's body. But I kind of figured my way out because I started making these really terrible beats on this Yamaha keyboard that my parents got me for my 10th birthday.

When I got signed, I had just turned 16. I felt like I had to continuously have these confrontations with older men who were doubting my ideas because I was a woman, because I was 16.

My dream collaboration would be with someone like Bjork, Kate Bush, or even Dionne Warwick.

I still maintain the fact that when I write songs, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't think about it pragmatically. I say what's in my brain, and sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's terrible.

On my first album, I felt like, if it was going to be turned into a movie, it would have been directed by Sofia Coppola. She creates this kind of pastel-colored palette that's very whimsical but also very stagnant. And that's really how I heard the record.

I'm lucky I have really cool parents.

I think that U.K. audiences, in general, are very closed off. Very judgmental.

There are some signs that can indicate she might be interested. Woman might do subconscious things like play with their hair or orient their body towards your direction.

Just be funny. Funny always goes over well, so try to think of something funny to break the ice rather than being weird or using pickup lines.

When I was younger, I was quite scared of a red lip. But I started listening to '60s French ye-ye pop when I was making 'Sucker.' I was looking at Brigitte Bardot and those kinds of girls. When they were dressed up, it was often a bold red lip.

I think big brows are pretty cool.

I'm a really big Rihanna fan, and I think she's such an incredible artist.

I love In-N-Out!

The scenes in 'The Virgin Suicides' where Elle Fanning is ice skating are really amazing.

I think it's cool to be a rock star; I don't think there are many. There aren't many who speak out and take risks. And I think that's important.

From the moment I stepped into this industry, I've always had to fight for my ideas and for my voice to be heard.

In the '90s, there was always this continuous pitting of women against each other in the media, trying to make them battle it out.

Fashion is instant. It makes you feel something the second you see it on a body... whether you love it or hate it, or it offends you, or it makes you laugh or cry.

I always love wearing Vivienne Westwood. Her dresses just seem to fit me perfectly, and she makes dresses for girls with curves - I love that.

All my favourite pop songs are the most stupid ones, the ones that are the most obvious.

I think the process of 'I Love It' becoming such a big song opened my eyes to sides of the industry that I'd never been aware of, which I wasn't so into.

My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music.

I get on with people. I don't hang out with people who aren't nice. It's like, be real or go home.

You should respect the people you are around.

I think debate is good. Everyone has an opinion, and it's definitely healthy to voice those.

Most of my favorite artists are strong females.
