I get so many people coming up to me being like, Aahhh! And I'm like, what the hell? I'm just me!

A dream of mine is to write a 'Bond' theme tune.

My dad will always criticize me. He doesn't care if it hurts my feelings. If I start acting a certain way, he would be like, 'Who do you think you are?' So many people can tell me, 'You're amazing,' but I don't think it. I'm really hard on myself.

I just make my music. It's not too complicated.

I've listened to 'Frank' so many times. She was so honest and herself. I think one of the hardest things for an artist to do is tell the truth, but that's what Amy Winehouse did, and it's what I want to do - if you want to write songs that connect with people, I think they really need to believe what you're talking about.

One Christmas, I wrote a nativity play. But nobody turned up on the day of the performance apart from my brother and my cousins, so I just read the whole script onstage and made my brother pretend to be one of the animals at the inn.

Paris is such a beautiful city.

Independence is doing what you want to do, knowing that you're happy with the decisions you're making and that it's the best for you.

I overthink everything, and one thing I find difficult is to actually be in the moment.

I believe a voice is a voice. I could wear a box on my head and still have a good voice.

I want to be someone for young girls to look up to, for fathers to want their daughters to listen to me because I'm not rude, and I'm actually talking some sense.

When we used to walk to school, I used to read off the walls, graffiti and stuff, everything. I used to write stories, but I'd never finish them. I wrote poems.

I've been singing most of my life. There's nothing better I could wish to be doing.

For me, it's about touching as many people as I can and helping as many people as I can with my music.

I'd like young girls to be able to listen to my music and take something positive away from it.

When I found 'New Chain' by Col3trane, honestly, I couldn't stop playing it. It's a good road trip song because the beat just drives on.

The people who are the most powerful and have the most money sometimes don't value other people.

I love anything about love.

A lot of stuff doesn't faze me. I think it's because I was brought up in a small town, and normally, when you're from a small town, when you see a famous person, you'd be like, 'Oh my god. This never happens,' but I've always kind of been like nonchalant.

Before I put 'Blue Lights' out, I deleted my Instagram and everything and started again.

There's always been music in my house growing up. In the kitchen, there's a speaker, and we'd always have my mum's iPod in it - she never makes food without listening to music. And I used to watch 'Top of the Pops' with my dad.

Obviously I've grown up around YouTubers, people getting millions of hits, but I was never anywhere near that.

Most of me expressing myself comes through my music more than what I wear.

There's always so much energy from me and my band. Lots of fun and twists in each song.

Music is an outlet, so I'm not going to get things out that aren't true. Sometimes I do exaggerate - but only a little bit.

I make music because it helps me. I feel better after I've written a song. I listen to my own songs, and they make me feel and think about stuff I'd done or someone said to me, and I feel a bit better.

I'm not going to do a song just because it's with Drake.

I've got far to go. There's always more to be done.

I don't like setting goals - I don't like to be disappointed.

Sometimes I feel people try to be too complex. Some of the greatest songs are so simple. The simplest phrases.

I don't think about being a public persona too much - I just get on with what I'm doing.

I used to watch a programme about Route 66 in America, and it looked so fun.

A road trip in Cuba is probably top of my list.

With make-up, I much prefer my natural face. I'm confident with myself like that, but when I wear make-up, I like to look like myself. I love dewy skin, a matte lip, and a bad highlight!

I used to like loads of boys and get rejected all the time.

There's this issue where I'm really doing well and got hate 'cause I'm too light-skinned. I understand why people say that - throughout history, the lighter you are, that's how it's been. But it's not my fault. My mom and dad had me! I look how I look.

Sound has always followed me. A lot of reggae when mum was cooking. I'd write songs with my dad or play him anything I'd worked on.

I remember watching somebody called Esmee Denters doing covers that were really popular and wishing that was me. But I'm glad it wasn't. Things have worked out OK.

If you want to hear good music, good music will always be found.

My favourite number is 11.

Wear what you feel comfortable in and what suits your mood.

I used to go to London by myself when I was 16. I think I got it from my mom. My mom was the type to just always just go off somewhere, wherever. She's a goer.

When I put my first song out, I didn't put out any pictures. I just wanted people to hear my music.

I don't like to write about myself. I like listening to people.

So many people can tell me, 'You're amazing,' rather, but I don't think it. You know, so, I don't go around thinking this. I'm really hard on myself. I think that's quite good.

I'm not good at talking, but I can write a good song and tell a story.

I'm not gonna just disappear after one album.

I express my thoughts through my music.

I wanted to be pale. I didn't wanna go in the sun, because I was in school with a lot of white girls. I remember one girl said to me, 'You look better pale.' And I was like, 'Well, you're tan!' She was like, 'It's not the same.'

I know I can sing; I can sing, and I like how I sound.
