I like everything I wear to be in sync.
I think people take a liking to a voice or something that makes them smile and feel good about themselves.
My nan tells me to eat her fish balls and not drink alcohol. I'd rather have the fish balls.
When people come up and tell me they're such a big fan, it's cool. But weird.
Singing is actually my favourite thing to do in the world - so when you don't consider yourself as talented at anything academically, and there is one thing you're good at, I think it's best to follow what you're good at.
My dad is from Nottingham - although I've only been there twice in my life, with one being when my friend was at university there. I've always found it a friendly place and has a good night life.
I have so much hair, so straightening takes a long time. I mean, if I look at photos of myself with straight hair, it's hilarious. I look like a different person.
Lipstick doesn't really suit me. For shoots or when I go out, I use it - but if I use it all the time, it makes me look really old, so I keep it natural with nude or a natural pink. Though I did just do a shoot where they did a big red lip, and it looked amazing.
The fact that I'm on 'Essex Anthems' makes me happy, especially because half of my family's from Essex.
I've always been quite an eccentric character. I love going out and partying; I'm a very sociable creature.
At primary school, me and my best friend used to do D.I.Y. assemblies, and we'd do it as many times as we could until we got banned! We used to sing 'Hero' by Mariah Carey; it was, like, my favourite song; we were obsessed with it. We'd do it as a duet, and it's the first I remember performing.
We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.
You need to be different and stand out. You need to have a message. For me, it didn't come easily. The best advice I was ever given, though, is go away and write 100 songs. You need to find the music that's you.
Julia Roberts most definitely would play me in the film of my life. Not just because of the hair but because she has all sides to her personality come through in films that I could just imagine her playing my crazy self so well.
I love to sing and make music because it makes me feel good.
It's pretty traumatic knowing that your instrument that's your career isn't working, and you've got to have an operation.
If I'm feeling healthy - like, I've eaten well and have drank a lot of water and have clothes that feel good - I feel good.
I like going to places that are so different than where I'm from.
I think 'Rather Be' is an amazingly written pop song with incredible production.
I find it hard to write with writers sometimes because of their way of writing. Some are heavily focused on structure, but I have more of a 'Let's go with it' mindset. I like to be creative, and when I hear something that inspires me, I'll come up with a melody, a lyric to that melody, and take it from there. I try to keep it open.
