The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.

I don't even have a TV.

When I'm nervous, I stutter, and I had to keep stopping and starting.

I made an album I'm very proud of, and that's about it.

I don't think I'm such an amazing person who needs to be written about.

Cause I'm a musician, I'm not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.

I can be a cruel person.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.

I've got a crush on my backing singer.

I look after people.

I'm very loyal.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.

I'm not a natural born performer.

I'm my own worst critic, and if I don't pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won't be a happy girl.

If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

I would love to study guitar or trumpet.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me.

I can express myself.

I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

I can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well.

I want at least five kids. I want twins.

To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.

I'm happiest with my family around me.
