I love getting dressed up, but I want to be remembered for my singing.

I’m someone who’d never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.

I think being nice and being safe is unfair to yourself when you have big dreams as a woman. I think you have to prepare yourself that not everyone in this world has the same...

I have become a bit obsessed with eyebrows. I used to never have any, and then I realised big eyebrows are good, and now I’m an eyebrow fiend. Everyone comes to me to get their...

I’m not a natural runner. I’m friends with Ellie Goulding, and she’ll be like, ‘I’ve just done a 10K run’ and I’m like: ‘Why would you do that? How do you just do that?’ But...

I’m not afraid to say I’m very comfortable with who I am and I love who I love.

I had an amazing childhood and always loved to sing and dance, but there were moments where I had ups and downs with my health that often tested me as it does many people. I’ve...

I started to look like a cartoon character with the fringe and the catsuits. Yes, I want to change and mix it up. I want to change my hair, change my style. I want to...

I think if I wasn’t a singer I’d probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.

Songs lay a foundation of who I am going to be forever.

I want everybody to think I’m a hard worker as an aunt, a sister, a friend, a daughter, a niece, everything. I want to be great at every role, because every role in my life...

It’s weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don’t...

I always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.

I think confidence is the sexiest thing to have.

When I turned 25, something changed in me. I see children in my future 100%. Soon. I started thinking I want my kids to look back and say, ‘Wasn’t Mummy amazing?’ I’ve really started thinking...

If I did meet somebody, I would only ever make room for someone that loved me how I deserved to be loved. Until then… I’ve got my shoes, I’ve got my album, my dog.

I used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking.

The only thing I want to be defined by is my music and personality.

I love cleaning, weird but true. It really relaxes me.

My attitude goes back to my childhood. I used to audition for theatrical roles, and you can’t stand out in a room full of ambitious eight-year-old girls by acting the wallflower. I realised then that...

I’d hate it if everyone in the world liked me, my music and what I wore. It’d make it boring, and I wouldn’t have anything to work towards. It’s not to everyone’s taste, but I...

My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.

If I’m on a bus and someone makes my blood boil, I’ll pocket those emotions and put them in a song.

There are a lot of people holding on to the old Jessie J – whatever that means – but I think there’s a lot more people realizing what I’m about. I think people like it.

I was obsessed with the Spice Girls! I always wanted to be Sporty. Or Posh, but I wasn’t pretty enough.

I can play the air guitar really, really well.

I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I’m not laughing, it upsets my day.

The way I look at it, a footballer wouldn’t play in flip-flops or dip their feet in acid and then expect to get to David Beckham’s level. My voice is my living, so I’ll be...

I won’t lie – when you’re first bringing out music and you want people to notice, you probably overdo it, especially as a girl.

I’m not a model, I’m an artist. In one of my videos, I’m doing this shot of me with no make-up on where I’ve just woken up, and I don’t think a lot of people...

I’m glad I was faced with different cultures when I was growing up because I wasn’t fazed by it. It has been a huge benefit to me; I feel comfortable wherever I go.

When I look back, I can see why people thought I was aggressive. My first single, ‘Do It Like A Dude,’ resulted in a lot of misconceptions about me. I’m confident – but I’m not...

I have always been the first on the dance floor. Before fame, people thought it made me a good laugh; now, people point and call me an attention seeker! I’m very aware of the way...

I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I’m claustrophobic.

You should never, ever apologize for anything that makes you happy.

I always imagine the world and myself above it and how minute one negative person’s voice is in comparison to the amount of people that are in the world.

I’ve been in dance schools since I was four. I went to the Brit school. I did adverts and plays.

I’m so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I’m really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same.

And that’s the kind of thing people think, you know, that if you sign up to be a singer-songwriter you know how to deal with people setting up hate websites, or people being obsessed with...

I wasn’t always someone who was talented. It was more that I was loud and loved a challenge.

The best gift a fan could give me is undeniable support.

Do what makes you feel good. Remind yourself of what you’re good at and make sure you do that.

I had knockback after knockback before I got anywhere. After I got my first record deal I thought that was it, then Gut Records went into liquidation. I was 20. I had no idea what...

I’d love to have a fashion range; I’ve been dressed by the amazing Vivienne Westwood, and fashion is something I’m a huge fan of.

When I was 10 or 11 people started saying there was something special about my voice. But when I was 15 or 16 is when I really thought my hobby could become my career.

My style is constantly evolving. Style has been something that I think has been the hardest thing for me to come to terms with.

I’m an artist, but I’m also a businesswoman, and sometimes you have to play hard.

You know, as a woman, it is tough to get to the top – like to get to that respected level in this industry – in any industry, I think.

‘Just Do It’ is exactly what you need to hear when you’re in a moment of doubt. When you’re struggling, especially with sport… just do it. Stop talking about it, stop complaining about the cellulite,...

Look after yourself; remember that you only consist of your being, so make the best of what you have and look after it. Put good things into your body; eat well.
