I think around 2015 and 2016 I ended up in an identity crisis, artistically. I didn't know what direction I was going in. I'm a perfectionist and I want to be truthful to my beliefs, if you know what I mean.

I really like FKA twigs. She's wonderful. She's so cool. Like, insanely cool.

A lot of my songs are about being a teenager with a tornado in your head.

I had everything you could collect. I had these Spice Girls postcards. I also had the stickers and Barbie girls. I had all five of them. I was a real fangirl. They were actually preaching some cool stuff, the thing about girl power and sticking together with your best girlfriends.

I think the most radical thing you can do is be yourself.

I think it's very important of course that you're politically aware of what you do.

I was very ambitious in my dream of being a pop star.

I guess after the whole success with 'Lean On' - me being introduced into this more mainstream audience - I was a little scared of being my true self, and being vulnerable and being gritty.

A fear of not being good enough? But that's what drives me.

The thing I loved about my old punk band, it wasn't really about being vulnerable, it was about shouting and being fun and being aggressively political, which I thought was really cool and really fit that energy.

I think it's exciting, working with new people. There's something refreshing about not knowing what's going to happen. It's like an open sky of possibilities.

You get very inspired on tour.
