I love getting dressed up, but I want to be remembered for my singing.
— Jessie J
I want everybody to think I'm a hard worker as an aunt, a sister, a friend, a daughter, a niece, everything. I want to be great at every role, because every role in my life is as important as being Jessie J.
The message I want to give my fans is, always have a way to pull yourself out of the dark place. Don't sit and cry about it. Have your moment, and then get over it.
I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I'm claustrophobic.
I have always been the first on the dance floor. Before fame, people thought it made me a good laugh; now, people point and call me an attention seeker! I'm very aware of the way people can view me, but I'm very aware that I have to just enjoy my life.
I'm not afraid to have no make-up on and no hair. I just want to be stripped back.
I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
I'm not afraid to say I'm very comfortable with who I am and I love who I love.
I might put a nicer pair of heels on and a cooler outfit, but I'm still that naughty girl who likes a slice of cheesecake on my day off.
And that's the kind of thing people think, you know, that if you sign up to be a singer-songwriter you know how to deal with people setting up hate websites, or people being obsessed with you and crying when you touch them, but you don't, and you just have to deal with.
When I was 10 or 11 people started saying there was something special about my voice. But when I was 15 or 16 is when I really thought my hobby could become my career.
I have calmed down my look. Is it really necessary to wear all that jewelry and makeup at 7 A.M.? When you're tired, you start to over-compensate by wearing too much bling.
I like my life to be pure and clean and organised, and I like to have had eight hours' sleep a night. I honestly don't think I'd be as successful if I was a party animal. Because I don't think my personality would be as focused and open as it is.
I'm an artist, but I'm also a businesswoman, and sometimes you have to play hard.
I think being nice and being safe is unfair to yourself when you have big dreams as a woman. I think you have to prepare yourself that not everyone in this world has the same personality... The one thing I've chosen to be great at in my life is singing - so why not be proud that I'm great at it?
I'm the most un-diva-ish person you'll meet. I'm never rude to people and I am always on time.
I'm so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I'm really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same.
I'm someone who'd never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.
And I definitely do that very British thing of, take things with a pinch of salt, stiff upper lip, you know what I mean?
But I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing.'
I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres.
I love cleaning, weird but true. It really relaxes me.
I'd love to have a fashion range; I've been dressed by the amazing Vivienne Westwood, and fashion is something I'm a huge fan of.
Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home, and that's where the problem starts - because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views.
I'm glad I've had to struggle. It's made me the artist I am now.
You know, as a woman, it is tough to get to the top - like to get to that respected level in this industry - in any industry, I think.
The way I look at it, a footballer wouldn't play in flip-flops or dip their feet in acid and then expect to get to David Beckham's level. My voice is my living, so I'll be looking after it.
There are a lot of people holding on to the old Jessie J - whatever that means - but I think there's a lot more people realizing what I'm about. I think people like it.
I do my own make-up a lot of the time, and I'm very involved in what I wear.
I was obsessed with the Spice Girls! I always wanted to be Sporty. Or Posh, but I wasn't pretty enough.
I am a dork in disguise; I love doing stupid stuff.
I always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.
