All I want to do when I have time off is to have a laugh with my school friends and go down the pub.
I'm having a great time. It's like I'm on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what's happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.
But I've had to act and not depend on my voice so much.
When I'm out with a group I hide in the corner and get legless. I just make sure my friends shield me.
There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.
