I like to mimic accents. I don't even know if that's a talent. That's just a weird thing that I do.
The definition of being a feminist is equality, and if you're not a feminist at this point, then what are you really promoting?
I actually didn't grow up watching 'Degrassi,' but I saw the commercials and knew the characters. I didn't realize that Drake was the guy from 'Degrassi.' I had to piece it together and go, 'Oh! He's Aubrey Graham.'
People want to create something bigger for themselves, and making up drama that isn't there gives people the impression that they have haters. It's all for attention so it looks like they are important.
I never really necessarily liked being quiet.
Being in the public eye, you're always worried about what angle people are going to take pictures of you at. I don't really care anymore.
When I was eight, I told my best friend I got a Hilary Duff autograph, but I just signed it myself.
I do feel pressure from the outside world a little bit just because everybody wants new music, which is really nice. It just proves that everybody likes what I'm doing. But at the same time, I feel like it's important to just chill and experience things and really make the songs true to me.
Realize that everyone that you think is perfect feels like they're not good enough, too.
I just try to tell my stories in a way that is still light-hearted and fun to listen to. I'm not trying to bash you over the head with what I have to say.
I really want to speak for young women, especially because I feel like we're constantly brainwashed in everyday life.
It's not that I don't care how I look, but I'd rather turn the attention to the music as much as possible.
Success is when you see something, and you say, 'I want to do that,' and then you do it. It's being happy with what you do and doing what you love every day.
I don't want to be cliched, but Buckingham Palace is beautiful, and the old red telephone booths are really interesting to me. I've always wanted to see those.
Ninety per cent of my family are hairdressers, and the other 10% are construction workers.
Music was something I found on my own. I got my first guitar when I was around 10, and it just all developed over time.
Other than the 'Sesame Street' soundtrack, which I was obsessed with, the first artist I really felt I'd discovered on my own was Amy Winehouse. She was the first female artist I wanted to write like and sing like and be like.
I was always so scared to sing in front of people. That was kind of my weird thing.
My house was very strange. I didn't do things other kids did because my parents were very strict - I stayed at home, quiet in my room.
I was a troublemaking kid.
