Charli XCX

I was only 14 when I started playing the east London rave scene. At the time, I was so captivated by everything. I didn't ever wanna progress out of that scene.

The scenes in 'The Virgin Suicides' where Elle Fanning is ice skating are really amazing.

I want my music, whether it's sung by other people or sung by myself, to affect the way the Top 40 radio sounds. I want to heavily influence it with things that have come directly from my brain.

I'll listen to 3 artists on repeat for more than a month.

I spent a lot of my teenage years experimenting with who I was as a person and not really getting it right. And then, I think, I realized that I just had to chill out in life.

I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground.
