When you get knocked down, you got to get backup. Otherwise, you are going to lose.

I've never felt the need to tell anyone that I'm bisexual. I don't feel like I am. I just feel like I'm attracted to who I like. I honestly feel like everyone is like that.
When I'm happy and in a good mood, I just search for other things that maybe connect to me on another level. I talk to my friends and see how they're feeling - see what's going on in their lives.
I love doing my own thing, and I won't let anything get in my way.
It's always inspiring when people all come together and be strong as a group. This is why I feel so strongly to put the message to people that we need to stand together in tough times.
I would be a very different person without karate.
My aim is to just make people feel good and happy.
I always try and make the strongest ginger tea with manuka honey to keep my voice in shape.
'Alarm' and 'Ciao Adios' are about the same person, yeah.
I feel like the albums I grew up listening to - for example, Eminem, Lauryn Hill, Christina Aguilera - they all spoke about real stuff that was happening in their life and everyone else's life.
Oh, God. Mate, I've written about 800 songs, and that's no exaggeration!
As for my haircare rituals, I don't wash it every day, and I also let my hair dry naturally. My hair is bleached, so I'm mindful of not putting too much heat on it.
I'm speechless! I am so happy to have won MTV Brand New!
Every time I do photo shoots, my bottom lip and, like, my top lip are quivering because I just don't know how to look. Then the flash kind of makes me go boss-eyed sometimes.
I love being busy.
I feel like no matter what I write about, I try to end up being the stronger person in the situation. Even in heartbreak, I feel like I'm a much stronger person because of that. I don't want to just write a sad song and still feel sad after that. I want to feel stronger and better.
I want my tattoos to be a story of my life.
I went to a performing arts school. I went to an audition for a musical, 'Les Miserables,' in the West End, and I got in, and my parents were like, 'Oh, you can sing?' So I kind of started singing properly when I was, like, seven.
When I was growing up, I was surrounded by people that were listening to a lot of pop music.
Whenever I start something, I will always do everything I can to be the best at it.
Who needs a man? I don't.
I have a worry of people not liking me. I get scared walking into a room first, so I have to have people walk in before me so then people are distracted. It's hard.
People never believe it when they find out I'm a karate world champion. They don't see me as the type because I'm small and blonde.
I love seeing people collaborate to make great music!
When I heard 'Rockabye,' I was just blown away. It had been a long time since I had heard a song that had a message like that in it - about being a single parent and caring for your child.
Luckily, now I think that I attract people that are really nice, like my fans, who are really lovely people. They are really encouraging, and they help other people out as well, which, it's really great.
I feel like I ask my fans to love themselves a lot, and and I do want people to love themselves. That comes from personal experience.
If singing weren't happening, then yeah, I definitely would still be working hard at karate. I already have some teaching diplomas in it so would've continued to do that and maybe eventually had opened my own club! Maybe one day I still can.
I actually have been really influenced by dance music.
I love braids and just generally playing around with different hairstyles, especially for festivals and photoshoots.
It feels amazing to be on the MTV Brand New list. I was shocked when I got told - a good shocked. I'm proper happy about it.
I used to take life so seriously; I got so stressed.
I don't want to have to look good all the time - that's not realistic.
I feel at home wherever I am, to be honest.
I just feel not many people hear that you should feel good inside and feel happy within your soul, instead of needing to look a certain way, so I always try and talk to people about that.
I've always been good at talking about my feelings; that helps with writing songs.
I've never, ever just been attracted to men. I've never just been attracted to women.
'Alarm' was about a boy that cheated on me, and when I found out, I wondered if I should give him another chance. I used to give a lot of chances to people hoping they would become better people, but this one didn't.
When I first started writing, I wrote really sad, emotional songs which were all slow.
I try and be just completely me on stage. I try and put that across, and people seem to get that personality that I have, so I do try not to become two different people and two different faces.
I do feel pressure to look good. But that's just not going to happen, because I have a double chin, and I can't pose. It's such a struggle.
I love musical theatre. It's a passion of mine.
The thing I love about Marshmello is that he caters to individual songs as a producer. He has his vibe, but he also really puts something on the song that the song needs instead of having his thing and everything sounding like him.
I'd love to work with Kendrick, Frank Ocean, The Internet, or Alanis Morisette!
I think it's just constantly on my mind: wanting to help people, not just with music but with my words. I feel like I want to do that for people.
When I see people sad, I'm sad.
I've always been the kid to want to do anything and everything.
Alanis Morissette - I think she's one of my biggest inspirations.
I think I got nominated in the MTV Brand New Top 10 because I'm 3x world time karate champion, and I'd probably just beat everyone up if they didn't put me in it. They were all scared!
I think social media has been really great for me.
