The BRIT awards is a really great occasion, especially for us Brits, because it shows the talent and support coming from our country.

When you're coming out new, it's harder as a girl to gain fans because most of them are girls, and they can be like, 'Do we like her?' If I were a boy, it'd be much easier.

When I was growing up, I was surrounded by people that were listening to a lot of pop music.

I've written a lot of songs from watching women speak about women empowerment.

It has to be 'The Piano' by Jane Campion. It inspired me to pursue my dream to direct. It is not just my favorite woman-directed film - it is my favorite film.

A lot of my inspiration comes from everyday people.

My musical roots and inspiration lie not in rock n' roll or metal music, but first and foremost in classical music, balalaika, and in underground house music.

Winning the WWE Championship has been my dream for a very long time. But what motivates me more is to inspire people to go out and follow their dreams.
