I'm very conscious of developing my singing, technically and stylistically. I want it to become more individual, express more of me. That's my goal. These songs are steps along that way.

I don't just want to sing about simplistic things all the time. It's good to have a mix of songs that have a real depth, and that provoke and challenge people, and then songs that are fun and people can enjoy.

I would love to put out music that was just stunning or soul-baring or whatever. But I don't think I have the voice for it.

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

In our world, as artists, the only time I'm allowed to express myself is through song.

I wouldn't be able to write a song like 'Someone Like You' and get someone else to sing it because it's so personal. It's like giving away your heart.

When I hear someone, instantaneously, I'm like, 'Who's singing?' You're giving people so much of yourself, and my voice is the most natural, distinctive tool I have. It's up to me to express myself on a wider scale than just writing vocal melodies and lyrics.

I guess if you can't sing, you better have a style!

I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.

Write your own songs. It helps you to mean what you're singing, which will then make it mean something to listeners.
