I don't want to sell my soul or anything, but to go on a huge tour would be next level.

I spent a lot of my teenage years experimenting with who I was as a person and not really getting it right. And then, I think, I realized that I just had to chill out in life.

People would always ask me how I came up with my music and what it felt like to make music, and I would always see colours, and then I found out that that was synaesthesia. It helps me understand songs and what I like.

I've been really inspired by Paris Hilton, small dogs, and a glitter, luxe lifestyle.

I really want to work with Chris Martin. I think he's a genius.

I do appreciate the '80s as an era, the general sounds and aesthetics of the era. The Cure, that whole kind of image is really kind of amazing, I think. The power ballads and how everything sparkles and words are really dramatic. Huge drums, things like that. I do really find it inspiring.

I do this weird thing in studios where I climb stuff when I get nervous.

Being nice is awesome. You have more fun; you meet more people.

To be honest, my usual makeup is the same as in my music video looks.

I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground.

Most of my youth I spent being obsessed with Baby Spice, so she was my favorite for a really long time. Now that I'm older, I actually really like Posh Spice the best. Nineties Victoria Beckham is perfection, I think.

The second someone tries to put me in a box, I will do everything to rebel against that.

If you're in control of everything, then no matter what it is, you can make that feminine.

I was in the playground, like, 'Let's imitate the Spice Girls and form a girl group!' I would go home and sing into my hairbrush and act like Britney Spears. I was no Mozart.

Anyone that thinks 'pop' is a dirty word is living in the '90s.

I made video art for quite a long time, and I made this video covering myself in burgers and dancing to Major Lazer and doing covers of Britney Spears songs... I can't remember how I got there, but my teacher said he'd have to fail me because it had mild nudity.

I believe I deserve everything that could maybe happen. And I don't think that's a cocky thing to say because I've worked really hard, and I've never bitten the hand that fed me, and I've always been really respectful.

I think I'm a girl's girl in the sense that I support women a lot, and I'm definitely all for girl power, but I think I'm quite a tomboy at heart - even though I love my fashion and dressing up, I think my essence is very boyish.

One time, I gave Chris Martin a My Little Pony for good luck. He said, 'Oh, you should keep it,' but I was like, 'You guys probably need it a lot more than I do.' I said that to Coldplay!

I'd love to work with Cher Lloyd; that would be my dream person to work with.

I've heard people say to me, 'How can you claim to be a feminist when you dress like that?' I wear a lot of slip dresses and nightwear and stuff. People always question my credibility because of that: 'Oh, are you selling sex? Are you doing this or that to be recognized more or to sell your music?' No, it's just a fashion thing for me.

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.
