About Joss Stone: Joscelyn Eve Stoker is an English soul singer, songwriter and actress.
To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.
It's like, 'You're not allowed to change. That's not fair. We like you like this.' But I don't. So let me expand and express myself.
There are people in England that claim benefits because they are too nervous to work, so they claim their benefits for anxiety and never have to go out side there free home.
I guess this year I'm going to find out if I'm good enough or not. If I'm not, I don't care. I'll do something else, it's not a biggie.
Life is good. Or at least, it's always interesting.
I didn't write those songs, but I can relate to every one of them... I have.
Who says soul has only one colour?
For me, personally, Mind, Body and Soul is my real debut.
Basically, I was a freak show. This kid with this big old voice. I was a travelling freak.
If you capture the first thought that you have when you're creating, and then play that to people, it's kind of like the listeners are part of that beginning. And that's the most exciting part.
I can be whatever. I can wear shoes or don't wear shoes. I can tie my hair up or wear it down. It doesn't matter.
The musicians one day are going to listen to me.
I only watch TV when I go to hotels.
It strikes me as weird that a 25 year old man would even find a 16 year old attractive.
The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.
I wanted people not to look at me as a little girl, but I was a little girl so how could I ask the world not to?
I feel so, so lucky. Lucky because of many things.
People started saying I was ignoring my country, making up stories about me. Ludicrous things, like that I throw tea on my assistants.
People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.
If you remember one thing from talking to me, remember this: I am just a girl who makes noises - and I'm incredibly lucky that people happen to like those noises.
