I became a fitness fiend when I was about 17 or 18.

When I was 15, I didn't think I was the prettiest at all. But then something happened when I was 20-something - I thought, actually, I really like what I look like. Just because I don't look like everybody else doesn't mean that I can't be just as beautiful.

If you believe in chakras - head and heart - I think singing opens them up, like a wide open door.

I always say that I want to play Serena Williams if they ever did a biopic of hers. I definitely want to do that, and I want to do some films.

I don't think it's different to be a black girl in England than it is to be a black girl from America. We all collectively share in a pain of displacement and not feeling like we quite belong in places.

What I want to see is more mixed casts. We need it. People need to be brave - in the real world, everyone and anyone is around. So if people get to see themselves on the stage, they'll want to come.
