For me, a fragrance is another way of leaving an impression on somebody.
— Rita Ora
I just want to be in a relationship.
The music industry is very small.
It took me a while to understand that I do have a voice, and I can use it to help people.
My beauty icons - and this sounds cheesy - have a beauty that comes from inside.
I was always that girl who loved music and thought of music as an escape route.
To me, British fashion has a story. It has history, and I feel it's very much about our culture.
I don't feel like myself without the red lip. I feel like I'm taking a risk or something without it.
Sometimes I see people writing the most ridiculous things about me.
I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen and Duran Duran fan.
I wouldn't want to do an average fashion line. I'd want it to be an amazing piece of art.
When you perform, you can convey emotions differently, and your look can reflect each of those emotions.
I think music will thrive where it wants to.
Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness.
When people come to my shows, they're like, 'I can't believe you can actually freaking sing!'
I have a few properties, some in the U.K., some in the States, some in Kosovo. It's a nice little empire - I'm trying to create something so my family can be all right.
I used to do ballet all the time, and I do this ballet workout: it is an amazing thing called Barrecore. It is like pulsing. It turns your legs into, like, jelly, and you feel like a Bambi; you lose so much control over your body because you're pulsing so much.
I don't know what flirting is, really. Sometimes in women, friendliness comes across as flirting. That is not what it is.
Being a Mum is a big job.
Between sixteen and eighteen, I was singing anywhere I could, in bars or down at the pub.
Eyebrows are really important because they structure the face. In school it was funny because I was always the one walking around with tweezers plucking my girlfriends' eyebrows. I was really good; eyebrow tweezing runs in my family - my mother used to do mine, and I picked it up.
Women love an honest man. An honest man that isn't afraid to say, 'Men get hurt too.' And a lot of men don't admit that.
I love how music and fashion are so similar. We need each other.
I've been going to Bicester Village since I was young. My mum and dad really loved that place, and I always used to stock up on clothes. I love the fact that it supports great British designers.
Before every show, I have to put perfume on. I know the crowd's not necessarily going to smell me, but when I smell good, I feel like I can dominate the room.
I literally touched down in Kosovo and the president, prime minister and mayor were waiting for me to get off the plane. Apparently that's unheard of. They don't wait for nobody.
A steamer is like an inhaler, so you can inhale this oil or frankincense or eucalyptus. Before I go onstage, I spend half an hour taking in that steam, and it saves my life!
I try to do one thing a day that makes me proud of myself.
Girls have always wanted to be pretty, even in Egyptian times. Cleopatra wore all that eyeliner, you know.
I think the good thing about Macklemore is that he is very precise about what he gets involved in. As you can tell, he's very passionate about what he puts his name on, because he talks about things people don't usually talk about, and his concepts are very, very passionate.
Every girl, without fail, loves to look at a sexy picture of herself.
My childhood was great, my family was great. I wasn't in a mansion, but we made it work.
If you really want something, you'll make it work.
Kerastase and Bed Head have really good products.
I speak fluent Kosovan.
I don't want people to think that someone gives me something to wear, and I'll put it on.
I can't cook.
If I'm not working and getting my makeup done, that's my chance to do a hair mask and a face mask and my plucking and waxing and all of that.
To me, it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from - if you're a good person and you got my back, I got yours.
I never think too hard about a look. When you consider an outfit too much, that's when it goes wrong.
Fashion is this obsessive narrative that people don't understand but they can't stop looking at.
A New Yorker is anyone who has the guts to really live in the city.
I'm just very good at pretending.
I'm scared of a lot of things.
I will always love red lips.
The album is never finished until it's on the shelves!
Everyone wants a love song you can dance to.
There are bigger queens of the selfie, but I'm up there.
It was my dad's idea to change my name from Sahatciu to Ora. He said it would be easier to pronounce.
I just love pretty things, whether it is art, a song or a pair of shoes.
