I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart. 'Wanna Say' is one of the few love songs I've ever done.

I don't know why, but I don't fancy writing love songs; I never have.

I try to make everything I write a little bit different. Those songs that go, 'I love you so much and you love me,' they're boring. If I'm going to write a love song, it's going to be a little bit tortuous.

The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.

I have a song about being in love. I have a song about being supportive. There's inspiring ones, and there's some that show a little bit more fun and daring. It really is a range of who I am.

I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak because I like getting into the character.

I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'

There were songs I would write about breaking up with somebody before I broke up with them, months and months before I broke up with them.
