Quote

I'm a commercial-minded songwriter. I'm here to make a living and be on the radio.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.

I don't think writing or co-writing my songs makes me a better singer, but I haven't really got an excuse not to do it as I've got too many opinions!

I'm a songwriter first.

There's not really too many artists that young girls and young people can look up to and be inspired by. So I take it as my responsibility, sometimes, to be the person who has the voice to give people some truth about what we're doing.

I'm a writer first and a singer second.

You don't just wake up one morning and decide to become a singer-songwriter.

I've made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that's gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.
