I dont hate L.A. There's a very beautiful side to it; it's scenic, and I can go horse riding.

I don't mind letting people in a little bit, but I have learned from the past not to talk too much about my relationships and to keep things as private as possible.

When I was really little I would sit in the back of my dad's car when he'd be playing old-school music. He'd turn down the music and turn around and I'd be singing and know all of the words but I didn't even know how to talk. From then on I've always wanted to be a singer.

Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.

I could hang with horses all day.

I don't think I have the right to give someone advice when I don't know them.

I have my best ideas when I am alone.

I am, and always will be, proud to be a Hackney girl.

I'm not a loud, extravagant person; I'm never going to be that and, to be honest, I don't want to be like that.

I believe I could have had a career in the music industry without 'X Factor,' but it was an amazing platform that propelled me to where I am now.

Animal testing is needless, especially in cosmetics.

I do love a bit of fashion. I grew up around a lot of it as my mum and dad had clothing stores so my mum was always designing a lot, and I definitely had that as an influence.

I can't remember who told me but I was advised early on not to Google myself or read things about myself... I don't read a lot but get the gist of what's been said from friends and family. It's good to avoid it if you want to be normal person.

I get road rage. I can't drive because I cuss people out.

I am definitely an individual.

I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me.

I love nature and enjoy learning new skills.

The part of London where I grew up has the highest crime rates in the country.

Oh my gosh! I can't tell you the number of times people have put autotune on my voice, and I'm like, 'Please take it off!' You don't even sound human; it makes you sound like a robot!

I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.

I hate having my hair cut so I try not to.

I'd love to be on 'Glee.' I'd love to play a rebel. Be a real biker chick in leather and covered in tattoos.

I'm very sensitive and I'm quite a soft person, and I cry a lot when things upset me.

I'm a positive person, and I try to look at the good side of everything.
