“I'm so hard on myself that when I'm in the studio, I'll write 10 songs...” — Jessie J Quote

“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?'”

“But I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing.'”

“I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.”

“I do get clocked in the street. People say, 'You're an actress, aren't you?' But they don't know my name. Nine times out of 10, they don't know what I've been in.”

“The greatest part of the job was... that was for nine years it was a pleasure to go to work.”

“If you stare at a wall from four in the morning till nine at night, and you do that for a week, you are getting pretty close to nothingness.”
