Charli XCX

I think debate is good. Everyone has an opinion, and it's definitely healthy to voice those. ”

I think what women think is sexy is what is sexy. Girls eating pizza are massively sexy. ”

I like working really fast. The best ideas are the first ones that come into your head - so why bother thinking of any more? ”

I'm inspired by artists like Robyn, just because she writes amazing pop songs, and they're not throwaway. When I listen to a Robyn pop song, I don't feel like she's just kind of saying something and not thinking; I feel like it's really emotional. ”

I hate the idea of people thinking that I'm just a little girl who goes into studios with pop producers, and they work their magic. ”

I feel like, throughout 'True Romance,' I was unsure of myself in terms of songwriting. Even though it was my voice, I feel there were a lot of other voices on that record, too. ”

True Romance' was definitely, in part, still me finding my voice as a writer. I was nervous, and I was a lot more shy. The album sounds bruised. ”

I wrote a song for Icona Pop which boosted my confidence quite a lot. ”

I really just want to change the way women think about themselves. A lot of young girls are quite lost. ”

I think the best artists are the ones who constantly change - Madonna, Bowie. ”
