MySpace was so punk.

I always wear red lipstick.

I can watch a sunset on my own.

I had heart surgery when I was 17.

I love skeletons and bones so much.

I got £30 for my first gig, cash in hand.

Filming 'Glow' helped with my confidence.

I've got quite bushy eyebrows and brown eyes.

People have said I'm too fat to be a pop star.

British summers give me a really happy feeling.

You can grow flowers from where dirt use to be.

A lot of young girls look up to me and it's amazing.

I never do anything just to be crude or in your face.

I can't even begin to grasp concepts like the multiverse.

I just want to be someone who stands up for being herself.

I love 'Grace and Frankie!' Oh my God, it's the best show.

Forgiving yourself will help with giving yourself strength.

When I'm not touring I really enjoy the ease of cooking at home.

As you get older, you start to realise negativity is really bad.

When you earn your own money you feel much better about yourself.

I want to be in a Tarantino movie, more than anything in the world.

I've been really inspired by my roots - my ancestors and Irish history.

Songwriting is my craft now, and it's more than something I just enjoy.

I started my own zine, and riot grrrl became a huge part of my identity.

I have really bad anxiety and OCD. I get afraid of everyone I know dying.

I love any excuse to dress up; my wardrobe's a bit like a fancy dress box.

I've always loved punk music, so it was really cool to do my first punk song.

I guess, there are always people that you latch onto that really inspire you.

Simplicity is the key for me. I can't write clever songs; I just can't do it.

Singing is something I've always loved - I'm not sure what I would do without it!

I first got into punk music at 17, The Adverts, just from being a bored teenager.

People are fragile. Our brains are fragile and you can only abuse them for so long.

I formulate my style based on a range of influences from books to films and my moods.

Even though I'm super into tarot and astrology, I don't believe in knowing too much about the future.

When you're on tour, you know exactly what you're doing and what's required of you. There's a routine.

I feel like women, especially in music, aren't really given as much respect as men. Sexism really exists.

I've a tiny little scar on my chin from when I fell over on stage, bust my chin open and bled everywhere.

I grew up in Harrow, London, with two sisters. I am the middle child and a natural ginger, so fiery by nature.

My biggest crush when I was 13 was Leonardo DiCaprio. After I watched 'Titanic' I was completely in love with him.

I didn't feel like I was allowed to be a songwriter. I thought I had to be a really intelligent lyricist, like a poet.

If you're on an indie label, you're not getting enough money. And if you're on a major, you're not getting enough support.
