Speaking in 2013, she said: "I mean, I just can't believe it. I had nowhere to live. I was staying on the floor of a hostel in Earls Court for over a year and then I did a bunch of bad s**t, got on a plane to LA and then two years later I had sold over 800,000 singles. I was flying business class and staying in suites and penthouses - I can't f**king believe it. I wrote 14 songs and that's what happened? My life was changed forever. If you would have asked me, the person sleeping on the floor in Earls Court, 'You're 26 - where are you?' I would never have thought this. I would have probably thought I was dead by now. Or a stripper."
