More From Jessie J

Sexuality Shouldn't Define Anyone. It Doesn't Define Me. Love Should Be At The Core Of What You Do.

I'd Love To Have A Fashion Range; I've Been Dressed By The Amazing Vivienne Westwood, And Fashion Is Something I'm A Huge Fan Of.

A Hairdresser Who Did My Hair Said, "you, My Darling, Have Something That We Call Successful' Hair," Which Is Basically Battered Hair That's Split And Falling Out In The Back Because You've Had To Blow-dry It Every Day. I Don't Want My Hair Falling Out, So I Wear Wigs!

I See My Music As Emotional Therapeutic Pop Music That Bleeds Into Loads Of Different Genres.

When I Was 10 Or 11 People Started Saying There Was Something Special About My Voice. But When I Was 15 Or 16 Is When I Really Thought My Hobby Could Become My Career.

Do What Makes You Feel Good. Remind Yourself Of What You're Good At And Make Sure You Do That.

I Think If I Wasn't A Singer I'd Probably Do Make-up And Beauty And Hair And Something Creative Like Styling; I Really Enjoy It.

I Never Stop Working When I'm On Stage, And That's My Fitness.

Trust Me. Life Is Not Worth Living Feeling Sad And Down And Lonely. Always Be True To Who You Are.

When I Look Back, I Can See Why People Thought I Was Aggressive. My First Single, 'do It Like A Dude,' Resulted In A Lot Of Misconceptions About Me. I'm Confident - But I'm Not Arrogant.

I Love Getting Dressed Up, But I Want To Be Remembered For My Singing.

Sexuality Shouldn't Define You. It Should Be Part Of Who You Are.

We All Make Mistakes. It's Human. Just Learn From Them. Repeating Them And Being Aware Of It Is The Dangerous Bit.

I Want Everybody To Think I'm A Hard Worker As An Aunt, A Sister, A Friend, A Daughter, A Niece, Everything. I Want To Be Great At Every Role, Because Every Role In My Life Is As Important As Being Jessie J.

If I'm On A Bus And Someone Makes My Blood Boil, I'll Pocket Those Emotions And Put Them In A Song.

Don't Lose Who You Are In The Blur Of The Stars Seeing Is Deceiving, Dreaming Is Believing

They're Not Bullying You Because Of You,they're Bullying You Because Of How They Are

I'd Hate It If Everyone In The World Liked Me, My Music And What I Wore. It'd Make It Boring, And I Wouldn't Have Anything To Work Towards. It's Not To Everyone's Taste, But I Can Only Be Me.

Being Perfect Is Boring. It's The Imperfections That Make Us Perfect.

The Way I Look At It, A Footballer Wouldn't Play In Flip-flops Or Dip Their Feet In Acid And Then Expect To Get To David Beckham's Level. My Voice Is My Living, So I'll Be Looking After It.

We're Flying Free Like Birds In The Sky, Because We're Alive.

Do Good. Inspire. Set An Example To Yourself And Others. Have Faith. Make Your Actions Loud. Have Fun. Be Nice. Love Strong.

Look After Yourself, Remember, That You Only Consist Of Your Being, So Make The Best Of What You Have And Look After It. Put Good Things Into Your Body, Eat Well.

And I Definitely Do That Very British Thing Of, Take Things With A Pinch Of Salt, Stiff Upper Lip, You Know What I Mean?

I Think Confidence Is The Sexiest Thing To Have.

I Remember While I Was At School Some Of My Muslim Friends Talked About A Handful Of People Spoiling Things In Every Culture. Hatred Or Hurt Or Pain Isn't Specific To A Religion. I Think It's A Matter Of Acceptance. The One Thing The World Has To Accept Is Everybody Is Different. What Is Normal To Us Is Different And Unusual To Somebody Else.

You Should Never, Ever Apologize For Anything That Makes You Happy.

But I Love Singing Live. Nothing Beats The Feeling Of Going Out On Stage And Going, 'i Can Really Sing.'

It's Really Important To Me That My Niece And Nephews Can Come And See My Show, As Can My Grandad And Nan. I Love Spending Time With My Family, And Music Has Always Bonded Us.

I Love Looking Completely Different And That My Fans Won't Always Know What I'm Going To Do.

I'm An Artist, But I'm Also A Businesswoman, And Sometimes You Have To Play Hard.

Children Used To Get Bullied At School. Now They Go Home And That's Where The Problem Starts - Because They Sit On Their Phones All Night, Thinking About Who's 'liked' A Photo Of Them, Who Hates Them, Who Loves Them. They Don't Know What's Real And What's Not, Editing Their Lives Constantly To Fit Other People's Views.

Why Is Everybody So Obsessed? Money Can't Buy Us Happiness

I Do My Own Make-up A Lot Of The Time, And I'm Very Involved In What I Wear.

I Have Always Been The First On The Dance Floor. Before Fame, People Thought It Made Me A Good Laugh; Now, People Point And Call Me An Attention Seeker! I'm Very Aware Of The Way People Can View Me, But I'm Very Aware That I Have To Just Enjoy My Life.

I Always Wanted To Be An Artist; Being A Songwriter For Myself Was Always A Must But Being A Songwriter For Others Has Been A Bonus.

I Was Obsessed With The Spice Girls! I Always Wanted To Be Sporty. Or Posh, But I Wasn't Pretty Enough.

I Am A Dork In Disguise; I Love Doing Stupid Stuff.

I Feel Like A Lot Of The Industry And Media Portray This Image Of What Beautiful Is, Or How You Should Dress, Or How You Should Look, And I Don't Think It's Healthy.

If I Did Meet Somebody, I Would Only Ever Make Room For Someone That Loved Me How I Deserved To Be Loved. Until Then I've Got My Shoes, I've Got My Album, My Dog.

I'm The Most Un-diva-ish Person You'll Meet. I'm Never Rude To People And I Am Always On Time.

I'm So Hard On Myself That When I'm In The Studio, I'll Write 10 Songs And Only Use One. So Those Nine Songs That Are Left Over, I Always Think, 'where Could These Go? Who Could They Be For?'

As An Artist, I Try And Be Controversial, And I Have Been A Bit Offensive At Times. I Have A View On The Burka, And I'm Sure A Few Of The Muslim Girls And Their Families Would Have A View Of Me On Stage In Next To Nothing!

I Might Put A Nicer Pair Of Heels On And A Cooler Outfit, But I'm Still That Naughty Girl Who Likes A Slice Of Cheesecake On My Day Off.

'just Do It' Is Exactly What You Need To Hear When You're In A Moment Of Doubt. When You're Struggling, Especially With Sport... Just Do It. Stop Talking About It, Stop Complaining About The Cellulite, Or That You're Not Able To Run Fast Enough For The Bus... Just Do It.

I'm So Happy People Are Seeing The Eclectic Side Of Me. I'm Really Honored To Be Able To Push My Voice Into Different Sounds. Otherwise It All Gets A Bit Samey Same.

I Want Young People To Know That They Can Belong - Whatever Your Culture, Your Religion, Your Sexuality - That You Can Live Life How You Want To Live It And Feel Comfortable How You Are.

I Won't Lie - When You're First Bringing Out Music And You Want People To Notice, You Probably Overdo It, Especially As A Girl.

The Journey Is More Important Than Where You End Up.

However Old You Are, However Much You Love Life, However Happy You Are, How Healthy You Are, It Doesn’t Matter. Nothing’s Guaranteed. And I Think It Made Me Want To Take That Risk To Expose Myself As Me And Not As A Version Of Myself. I Don’t Become Jessie J. I Might Put A Nicer Pair Of Heels On And A Cooler Outfit, But I’m Still That Naughty Girl Who Likes A Slice Of Cheesecake On My Day Off.

The Rollercoaster Has Its Ups And Downs, Loops And Twists But Enjoy The Ride. We Are All On It Together.

I Also Surround Myself With People Who Make Me Laugh. If I'm Not Laughing, It Upsets My Day.

My Style Is Ghetto Chic. I Love Tacky Jewelry, Mega Heels, High-waisted Shorts, Catsuits.

We All Have Our Moments Of Being Fed Up ... But Give Me Your Hand And I'll Hold It. If You Are Being Bullied I Am Thinking Of You. You Are Not Alone And It Will Get Better. Don't Let Them Win. It's Okay Not To Be Okay.

Thinking Of You

I Can Play The Air Guitar Really, Really Well.

I Never Complain That I'm Tired, Because I Know As Soon As I Get A Good Nine Hours' Sleep, I'm Cool.

He Didn't Flinch, But In His Soul He Did.

I Have Become A Bit Obsessed With Eyebrows, I Used To Never Have Any And Then I Realised Big Eyebrows Are Good And Now I'm An Eyebrow Fiend. Everyone Comes To Me To Get Their Eyebrows Done.

When I Was Nine, I Was Diagnosed With An Irregular Heartbeat And Was Prescribed Beta Blockers, Which Had The Side Effect Of Turning My Skin Green. Looking Like Shrek's Little Sister At School Wasn't The Easiest Thing.

I Have Calmed Down My Look. Is It Really Necessary To Wear All That Jewelry And Makeup At 7 A.m.? When You're Tired, You Start To Over-compensate By Wearing Too Much Bling.

I Love Cleaning, Weird But True. It Really Relaxes Me.

My Style Is Constantly Evolving. Style Has Been Something That I Think Has Been The Hardest Thing For Me To Come To Terms With.

I Like My Life To Be Pure And Clean And Organised, And I Like To Have Had Eight Hours' Sleep A Night. I Honestly Don't Think I'd Be As Successful If I Was A Party Animal. Because I Don't Think My Personality Would Be As Focused And Open As It Is.

The People Who Really Love And Care About You Will Always Surface In Time And Stay In Your Life. Always

I Want It To Be Less About Sexuality And More About Being Comfortable In Who You Fall In Love With. If I Meet Someone And I Like Them, I Don’t Care If They’re A Boy Or A Girl. You Should Never, Ever Apologize For Anything That Makes You Happy.

Falling In Love

I Think Everybody Has A Moment In Their Career Where You Have To Test Whether It Was Right Or Wrong. We've All Been There. I've Looked Back At Performances Of My Own, Where Only You Know If It Is Something You Want To Repeat. As Long As You Know When It's Not Right That You Don't Repeat It All The Time.

I Will Fall On My Face Sometimes And I Can't Color Inside The Lines 'cause I'm Perfectly Incomplete I'm Still Working On My Masterpiece And I, I Wanna Hang With The Greats Got A Way To Go, But It's Worth The Wait No, You Haven't Seen The Best Of Me I'm Still Working On My Masterpiece

I'm Not Really The Party Person. I Don't "become Myself" Once I'm Drunk. I Don't Use Alcohol To Be Happy.

I'm Glad I've Had To Struggle. It's Made Me The Artist I Am Now.

I Think The Best Way To Have Confidence Is Not To Allow Everyone Else's Insecurities To Be Your Own.

During My Stage Shows, I Am So Energetic. It's Constant! I Just Don't Stand Still. I Actually Got Given A Mic Stand From My Team To Say 'just Calm Down. Stand Still For At Least Two Songs.' But Now I Just Pick It Up And Walk Around With It.

It's Okay Not To Be Okay... Sometimes It's Hard, To Follow Your Heart But Tears Don't Mean You're Losing, Everybody's Bruising, There's Nothing Wrong With Who You Are.

Some Of The Stage Outfits I've Got Are Ridiculous. I'll Lay Out Clothes To Pack, And It'll Look Like Polly Pocket Clothing - Because It's All Stretchy, It's Tiny. I Don't Need A Case When I Tour; I Can Fit It All In My Handbag.

Never Expect, Never Presume, Always Work Hard And Always Be True To Who You Are.

Be True To Who You Are

I'm Not A Natural Runner. I'm Friends With Ellie Goulding, And She'll Be Like, 'i've Just Done A 10k Run' And I'm Like: 'why Would You Do That? How Do You Just Do That?' But I Will Do That. I Will Do It.

I Had Knockback After Knockback Before I Got Anywhere. After I Got My First Record Deal I Thought That Was It, Then Gut Records Went Into Liquidation. I Was 20. I Had No Idea What That Meant. I Had A Few Days To Get Myself Out Of That Contract Or My Work Would Be Owned By Someone Else.

It's Healthy To Admit You're Not Ok. 'it's Ok Not To Be Ok' It's Brave. But Don't Let It Win. Be Sad. Have Your Moment, Your Day Or Week. Then Do Something About It And Be Happy. For Yourself.

If You Don't Believe In Yourself Nobody Else Will Believe In You.

Believe In Yourself

I Always Imagine The World And Myself Above It And How Minute One Negative Person's Voice Is In Comparison To The Amount Of People That Are In The World.

My Attitude Goes Back To My Childhood. I Used To Audition For Theatrical Roles, And You Can't Stand Out In A Room Full Of Ambitious Eight-year-old Girls By Acting The Wallflower. I Realised Then That I Couldn't Do Things Half-heartedly.

I've Been In Dance Schools Since I Was Four. I Went To The Brit School. I Did Adverts And Plays.

I Used To Live In A Gap Jumper, Tracksuit Bottoms And A Fake Flower In My Hair. Shocking.

It's Weird Because When You Initially Write A Song, You Write It With No Understanding That The World Is Maybe Going To Hear It One Day. So When You Go Into The Studio, You Don't See The Hundreds Of People At A Gig Or The Viewers On Tv, You Just Write A Song Without Any Inhibitions Or Boundaries.

I Like Stripper Shoes. I Like Being Tall Because I'm Claustrophobic.

Life Isn't About Winning It's About What You Learn And How Much You Can Grow.

It's Ok Not To Be Ok. Just Be True To Who You Are.

Be True To Who You Are
