When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and walk away. It's pretty mean but it's true.
I don't like being put in the same category as people because we have the same genitals and boobs. Nobody is going to write "Lily Allen vs. Ed Sheeran." It just doesn't happen.
I don't really see how any song can not feel contrived if it isn't honest, and how could I write honest songs if I don't write about stuff going on in my life and how I'm feeling?
Cheryl Cole, if you're reading this, I may not be as prety as you but at least I write my own songs.
