When I was four, five, my granddad took me over to the park to play basketball. There was no way I was getting a ball into the net, but he said we stayed there until I got it in. I always remember that. He used to say to me, 'When you think you're going to do something, you won't ever stop.' I think that's the person I've been all my life. ”

Luckily, now I think that I attract people that are really nice, like my fans, who are really lovely people. They are really encouraging, and they help other people out as well, which, it's really great. ”

I've got 'trust' tattooed on me, and I have a tattoo on my finger that's for my parents. ”

I've become very aware of body issues and body confidence. ”

When I first started writing, I wrote really sad, emotional songs which were all slow. ”

If singing weren't happening, then yeah, I definitely would still be working hard at karate. I already have some teaching diplomas in it so would've continued to do that and maybe eventually had opened my own club! Maybe one day I still can. ”

I'm so proud of my time in karate and what I achieved. It's part of me, so I don't want to leave it behind. ”

It's very important for females to feel empowered. It took me a long time to find that inside me. ”

Every time I do photo shoots, my bottom lip and, like, my top lip are quivering because I just don't know how to look. Then the flash kind of makes me go boss-eyed sometimes. ”

I think I got nominated in the MTV Brand New Top 10 because I'm 3x world time karate champion, and I'd probably just beat everyone up if they didn't put me in it. They were all scared! ”
