When I find the right person, nothing else will matter, but I'm prepared to kiss a lot of frogs.
Sam Smith
My cross earrings are a mini statement; I wear them every day! My whole dream is to be iconic, and the way you dress yourself is so important.
Food is my favourite thing in the world. I always say if I ate what I actually wanted to eat I'd be in one of those electronic scooters because I'd be too big.
When it comes to age, I just feel like puberty is, like, the most horrible time of anyone's life.
I've never been in a relationship before. I've only been in unrequited relationships where people haven't loved me back. I guess I'm a little bit attracted to that in a bad way.
It sounds depressing, but I think when you truly love someone, you'll never stop loving them.
I went to bed last night dreaming of tuna melts. I love food.
Hearing a whole entire room sing back to me, 'I guess it's true I'm not good at a one-night stand,' you know, I just can't explain the feeling. It's unreal. You feel like you've just read your diary to thousands of people and they've gone, 'It's okay. We still love you.'
Anything's possible. If I turn round tomorrow and say I want to be a spaceman, I could do that. You can do whatever you want to do.
I'm a vulnerable, sensitive person. I overthink everything.
People say, 'He doesn't want to be a spokesperson for the gay community.' I do, of course I do, but I want to be a spokesperson for everyone. Ya know, straight people, gay people, bisexual. I don't want it to be limited.
My plan is just to love harder than I've ever loved before, hide nothing, and embrace that I'm an imperfect human being. Oh, and sadness - sadness is everything.
I've had an amazing life, but I think I was born with a little bit of sadness in me. I've always been attracted to those things, whether it's sad movies, sad music... when you're sad, you feel everything in a greater way than you do when you're happy.
When I write sad songs, I feel like I'm sewing up a scar in me, and the outcome always feels so much better than when I write happy ones.
I did musical theatre for about four years. One time, I did six shows in one year whilst juggling school.
You love who you love, and I can't help that I like guys.
I don't go to celebrity parties a lot. I don't really enjoy them because I really like going for it in parties. And sometimes at celebrity parties, there is no dancing on tables because people... it can be a little judgmental at times. So I tend not to go unless it is Taylor Swift's birthday party; then it's amazing.
My main incentive now is to be so successful that I can get a private jet and sit with the pilot. I got upgraded to first class the other week, but even there I was still scared. I could be massaged for the whole flight and still think I'm going to die.
My debut album is just a diary from a lonely 21-year-old. That's what it is.
I used to sing Chaka Khan tunes in the car with my mum when I was eight years old.
My music relies solely on the feeling. Just the feeling.
Talking about my deepest and darkest secrets to the world makes me feel better. It's cathartic.
I used to get very angry as I was getting older, because my voice was breaking. So I've trained my voice so religiously through my teenage years, because I wanted to be able to hit the notes that those females hit. And I can, which is great.
I personally think Beyonce's a strong feminist. What she's done in music and for women is unprecedented. I love her. She definitely makes me feel like more of a woman.
I hate it when guys wear really tight t-shirts. It's just so horrible, especially when you can see their bellies.
I'm a very ambitious person. I've been like this from a very young age. As early as 12 years old, I used to have panic attacks because I needed to know my life plan.
As a kid, I collected 'Vogue' every month for three years.
I loved things like Destiny's Child, and Amy Winehouse's first record came out when I was 11 years old. But as a young, young child, I was just surrounded by Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan - just massive, soulful voices.
I want to be a voice for that: just because I've lost weight doesn't mean that I'm happy and content with my body. Because of the media, and because of what I feel I should look like, it's always going to be a battle in my head.
People need songs to belt out in the shower. Even if everyone else doesn't need that, I need that.
I want to save duets and collaborations for outside of the album. With the albums, I like it just being me.
I've made my music so that it could be about anything and everybody - whether it's a guy, a female or a goat - and everybody can relate to that.
I don't sit there writing songs, thinking, 'This would be good for Rihanna.' I don't want to be pitching out like that.
Music is to give, share.
There's always been a hunger in me not necessarily to be successful, but to be an icon.
The U.K. is so important to me. It's everything - it's my home. I love America, but it's so important for me to be here and be an artist and be well known here.
When I write music, it's very strange: maybe it's normal, but I see things in songs in different colors.
The idea of having a house, a kid, a husband, and a dog... I love that. I also really want to open a coffee and flower shop one day, probably in Italy.
When I'm performing, I'm not even thinking about the song. I'm thinking about the audience.
I've listened to female vocalists my whole life. That's what I love. I still listen to guys' vocals and don't get taken aback a lot.
I'm more comfortable performing in front of 50,000 people than five people - it's easier. When there's that many people, I feel like I'm alone. When I perform in front of only a few people, it's scary.
I'm yet to attack French cooking, you know, where it's intense, following recipes and stuff. I'm more of a 'make it up' kind of thing.
I can't relate to skinny, perfectly sculptured, tanned men singing about gold chains and Ferraris because I'm not that way.
I'm just very body-conscious. Sometimes I'm really proud that I don't look like other pop stars. But there's also moments where I'm like, 'Ugh, I wish I had abs like Bieber.'
I believe in God, but I don't know what it is - if it's a he, she, a he-she, or anything. Who knows what it is. All I know is that I feel like there's something else there.
I'll be excited when I get my heart broken properly for the first time. I'll be like, 'Thank God I've experienced something. Someone wanted to kiss me.' That's when it's going to be interesting: When you break up, they're taking a piece with them.
Oh gosh, I dyed my hair red when I was in year 11 with that L'Oreal Live stuff. It was like plumy purple - it was horrific. I looked awful; I don't know what I was thinking!
We want people to listen to records, to a whole body of music. I want you to buy into my life, not just one subject in my life.
I have a weird and undying love for George Michael. He's the reason why I want to do what I do.
I'm obsessed with Marcus Mumford. I've got to know him recently; he's amazing.
