“It's hard to put someone in the friend zone.”

“It feels amazing to be on the MTV Brand New list. I was shocked when I got told - a good shocked. I'm proper happy about it.”

“I actually have been really influenced by dance music.”

“It feels so good to be amongst some of the biggest legends in music - it feels quite surreal.”

“All the kids at school would bully me and always wanted me to fight them. I never did, but if I wanted to, I totally could.”

“I'm nervous before all shows.”

“People never believe it when they find out I'm a karate world champion. They don't see me as the type because I'm small and blonde.”

“I love to get inspiration from everywhere.”

“I feel like the albums I grew up listening to - for example, Eminem, Lauryn Hill, Christina Aguilera - they all spoke about real stuff that was happening in their life and everyone else's life.”

“Luckily, now I think that I attract people that are really nice, like my fans, who are really lovely people. They are really encouraging, and they help other people out as well, which, it's really great.”

“I always try and make the strongest ginger tea with manuka honey to keep my voice in shape.”

“I've got 'trust' tattooed on me, and I have a tattoo on my finger that's for my parents.”

“I would be a very different person without karate.”

“For me, speaking my mind is a big part of my life, and I encourage other people to do that as well.”

“I feel like I ask my fans to love themselves a lot, and and I do want people to love themselves. That comes from personal experience.”

“I've never felt the need to tell anyone that I'm bisexual. I don't feel like I am. I just feel like I'm attracted to who I like. I honestly feel like everyone is like that.”

“I have a worry of people not liking me. I get scared walking into a room first, so I have to have people walk in before me so then people are distracted. It's hard.”

“I feel like no matter what I write about, I try to end up being the stronger person in the situation. Even in heartbreak, I feel like I'm a much stronger person because of that. I don't want to just write a sad song and still feel sad after that. I want to feel stronger and better.”

“When I'm happy and in a good mood, I just search for other things that maybe connect to me on another level. I talk to my friends and see how they're feeling - see what's going on in their lives.”

“I've never, ever just been attracted to men. I've never just been attracted to women.”
