“The day after 'X-Factor' ended, I was in the studio with Will.I.Am.”

“In school, I was the quietest girl ever! I had a lot of trouble in school. Kids were mean to me.”

“I believe someone should be able to dress according to the mood they're in. It shouldn't be forced and you shouldn't have to follow a trend.”

“I used to have really bad skin, which made me struggle to feel confident.”

“There's nothing more that I enjoy doing as much as touring. It's basically being able to connect with the fans without all the madness that goes on in my regular life.”

“I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me because of the fact I haven't got any true friends! I'm fine the way I am.”

“I liked Amy Winehouse a lot. I liked the way she did what she wanted, and she wasn't fazed about the press being on her back. I loved her songs so much.”

“When you sing live, you cannot expect any artist, except for the amazing Beyonce or GaGa, to get it right every time.”

“I find it so funny how people that don't write the music, and have no involvement in it, can make such huge decisions on behalf of artists.”

“I had to grow up fast because we know it's not all fairy tales out there; it's full of rubbish.”

“Facial scrubs are always good.”

“My nan - she's beautiful. I love my nan.”

“I'm really, really short. And when I'm on TV, it looks like I'm tall, but I'm really not. I think I'm like just over 5-foot, or not even. Yeah, I'm really small.”

“When I came off 'The X Factor,' I wasn't necessarily the biggest thing. I really wasn't.”

“I don't care about the charts; I just want to make great music that I enjoy performing on stage and I'm proud of.”

“I've had my teeth done, which was a massive insecurity for me.”

“This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.”

“I'll always stand by my Gypsy roots, and I'll always help out one of my own.”

“By the time I'm wrinkly and old, I'll have kids and grandkids that I'm watching grow up. I'll be proud of what I've achieved in my life, and I'm not going to worry about my looks so much.”

“I didn't listen to Girls Aloud growing up - no way. Too cheesy, man!”
