I didn't get as far as I have from sitting back and being dopey. I know what it takes to get a job, and I'm going to pitch myself.

When I was really, really young, I was in love with Michael Jackson.
To clarify, I haven't had surgery. Surgery is 'going under the knife,' breaking bones, adding stuff in. I simply just had cosmetic enhancement: it's just a little bit of filler which I put a little bit in my cheeks and in my lips.
Pictures of me where my face was swelling, I had water retention - where you have filler, your face draws up a load of water. So my face began to swell like a balloon.
It's great to bring urban music to the commercial scene.
I'm supposed to be everywhere all the time!
I'd like to settle and have a family and get married when I'm, like, 30.
I'm not really into the celebrity lifestyle.
When you think about the 'X Factor,' you're always going to think about Cheryl because she was a massive part of it. Huge.
I think hard times either bring out the best in you or the worst, and I think I've luckily managed to bring out all the positives in myself.
All of the fillers I had in the past have now dissolved - apart from my lip fillers. I left them in, and they are something I have to maintain.
I've started meditation. I even train in Kung Fu. I'm into my juicing, my healthy eating - my whole lifestyle has taken a massive turn.
I do love my rock music.
I couldn't be an artist who was told what to do, what to be, what to sing.
If I could have the tabloids stop writing as much about me, and still get paid the same amount that I do, then I'd be quite happy. But I suppose it comes with the other things. If I'm not in the public eye, and then I'm not wanted, and I'm not getting endorsements, I'm not being talked about, my records aren't going to be bought.
I don't really like being vulnerable.
I am a religious person.
Yes, I've had my lips done, and I'm happy with my lips.
I want to release music that I like and feel comfortable with.
I've made my stamp on the earth. My name will go down in history, and if I never want to work again, I don't have to.
As everyone knows, I am a bit of a party animal - Ibiza, baby!
We were always complete opposite characters - that's what made N-Dubz - and we publically said that, and we said it in our songs.
I don't really have a strategy other than to just be myself.
I feel so detached from what I am on the outside. The person I am on the inside is very separate.
I can relate when people are going through a tough time.
Don't get me wrong: if I'm having fun, I'm going to have fun. But I need a lot of quiet time.
I want to go back into acting again.
I do what I do because I love it. I'd never really been into the celebrity side of it, so if I've got nothing to talk about, I'd just rather not be seen at all.
What's horrible is when someone believes they are a star, and they have no vocal ability whatsoever.
I like having my lips done. It's my personal thing; it makes me happy. I'm honest about it; I could lie. At least I'm telling the truth!
It really bugs me when people say I've had a nose job.
I only hang about with people I don't feel awkward around. I don't let many people into my circle.
I think it's important for every artist to have that ballad that stands the test of time.
I definitely would like to run my own businesses by the time I'm 27, maybe, and then come away from the spotlight.
I'm one of those people that do what I do because I love it.
I grind and I graft, but I will make sure that I get that time off here and there to unwind and relax and have a life.
Everyone is a product of their own environment, and that, I think, has actually been the key lesson for me.
I'm a big fan of lip fillers and collagen waves.
It was amazing to remake and rewrite a song like 'Sweet Like Chocolate.' It feels like a good way to come back.
Honestly, you could go as far as to say I have a boring edge.
I'm an intense singer, so I look like I need the toilet every time I hit a high-note.
I want to become so successful that if I wanna fart on a track, I can, and it will sell.
