I think I took after my parents. Using music as one of my main ways of expression just felt natural.
Destiny's Child's harmonies remind me of Earth, Wind & Fire.
I remember trying so hard to get into Bon Iver. I'd lie in bed listening with my eyes screwed up, like, 'This is just depressing me.'
Being a creative person, I want to feel the highs and the lows.
'Finders Keepers' is guaranteed to create a vibe. If I'm having a difficult show, then I know I've got that song at the end to turn it around, and the phones will come out.
I went to Glastonbury when I was 14, and that was really fun.
I've been in two long-term relationships and - this sounds awful - they were really helpful for writing heartbreak. It makes good songs.
All my songs are things that have happened to me.
I've been making music since age five.
I wouldn't be who I am if my parents hadn't been musicians.
It sounds really cheesy, but as a woman, I feel like I sort of found myself.
I think knowing where you came from and where you want to go is really important.
I grew up in a house full of musicians, and my mum really taught me that when you listen to an album, you respect that it's somebody's art, and that the B-sides are just as important as the singles, and we should really listen to the album all the way through the way it was intended to be listened to.
I want people to really care when I release an album.
Yes, sharing super-personal experiences is scary, but I can only get up on stage and perform it if I really connect with the music.
Gigs are my favourite thing - even the not so good ones, because you always learn something.
There's so many R&B songs where guys are talking about a clingy girl, like, 'I don't want a girlfriend, and this girl's so clingy, and blah blah blah.' But I'm a woman, and I've been in situations that have been the reverse of that, so I wanted to tell that story.
I'm really good at the '90s slow jams. I've got that down. But I love to dance, so why wouldn't I make something I could dance to?
That's why I love music - because I'm such a control freak, and it's the only thing that I can't really control.
I have, like, 'Finders Keepers' fever now! Sometimes I go in the studio, and I'm like, 'That worked so well, and I wrote it in 45 minutes, so if I try wearing the same outfit and playing on the same piano, it'll happen again.'
I can't believe that I'm MTV's Brand New for 2018. Big love to MTV for even giving me this opportunity and to all the fans for voting.
I think there is a misconception that being open and honest and saying what it is you want is something we should be embarrassed about. But that's just not me. I am a very honest person. I always tell somebody what I am looking for, and I don't want people to waste my time, basically.
When I was younger, I would listen to Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah: lots of '90s R&B.
A couple of days out of the month, I talk to my stylist, and we just get a big chunk of looks that'll last me a while.
When it's my show, I know that everybody is there to see me - but I like a challenge, and I like the fact that at festivals not everybody is there to see me, but I have the chance to convert people.
Relationships with cities are similar to relationships with people: being away from both can really make you appreciate what you have.
I am very much married to the job.
I don't actually get that many DMs. I tell myself that it's because guys might be intimidated, but I'm not that sure.
I'm independent; I live by myself.
I know I love going to my gym - I have a whole list of things I love to do by myself without needing someone else to make me happy.
I found being a teenager quite difficult, actually. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and now, looking back at it, I really wish that I had relaxed and just enjoyed it more.
Whenever I have a bad day, I tell everybody around me, 'Just so guys know I am having a bad day and I am nervous about these things,' and that makes all the difference.
Young women look at me and think, 'She's really confident. She has always had it figured out,' but actually, I really, really haven't. That has come over time as I became a young woman.
You have to work hard as a woman for people to take you seriously.
I've always been sure of my vision, but I've been in meetings where men have been talking about me like I'm not there... I've been told I should be a certain way, and I wondered if that would have been the case if I was a man.
I had a difficult childhood. I had lots of anxiety and questions. I found the world scary and intimidating.
Music became my way of processing things and a way to gain confidence.
