I feel like I wear kind of the same things on stage that I would wear every day, unless I'm being lazy, and then I just wear trackies. But actually, if I'm honest, I wouldn't really walk down Kilburn High Street in a leotard, and I would wear that onstage.

I'm learning to accept myself. I'm still in the process of learning to love who I am. And it's been really refreshing and really nice to be able to do that and be okay. I think my fans have brought that out in me.

Success, to me, is just doing things that I'm really proud of.

If I wasn't a singer, I would be a fairy princess.

I spend a lot of time in bed when I'm off. But if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll go to a gallery.

Everything that I do is very autobiographical. I'm trying to be as much of an open book as possible and give the audience every single piece of me.

Dua Lipa

I still take a lot of pride in being able to write my own songs. My story's coming from me.

Dua Lipa

For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up to me, I have to set the best example I can.

Dua Lipa

I always told myself never to have a plan B - I feel like that's also one of the reasons I'm doing what I'm doing now, because I just never really rested until I got here.

Dua Lipa

I can't dance. If I try, I'll trip onstage.

Dua Lipa

I get a bit insecure if I feel like there's too much makeup on my face or if I feel like I'm cakey.

Dua Lipa

When I think of artists I love, like J. Cole, it's the storytelling that grabs me. I want to be honest with my music.

Dua Lipa

I was 11 and living in Kosovo. I knew I wanted to perform but didn't feel like I could do it there. So I moved back to London on my own at 15, carried on going to school, and started posting cover songs online. I had no idea how I was going to become a performer, but I felt like I had so many more opportunities being in London.

Dua Lipa

I'm heavily influenced by the Nineties - I love juxtaposing a slip dress with trainers and a vintage leather jacket.

For a female artist, it takes a lot more to be taken seriously if you're not sat down at a piano or with a guitar, you know?

Dua Lipa

Every time you achieve something, you want to go after what's next. I'd like to see my own shows grow and someday be a headliner, fill up stadiums.

Dua Lipa

It's challenging to open for someone: You've got to prep the audience, get them in the mood, and get their attention if they don't know you. You're going to show them what songs you've got. You've got to leave your mark.

Dua Lipa

I think the artists are really the face of the music they make. It's no longer the genre that dictates it.

Dua Lipa

I use a toothbrush on my lips as a lip scrub; occasionally, I use a toothbrush with some dark eye shadow on my eye brows if I want to fill them in. And if I want a really thick, textured look with mascara, I put one on my lashes, as well.

Dua Lipa

I'd love to work with Drake; I'd love to work with Frank Ocean, Jay Z, and Kanye. The list is endless.

Dua Lipa

For a male artist, people instantly assume they write their own music, but for women, they assume it's all manufactured.
