I would rip my T-shirts and be really punk and not clean. And I would have blonde hair, really dark eyebrows, red lipstick, lots of fake rings that made my fingers go green. I wouldn’t be smelling that great…. But me and my friends, we were really, like, rebel-y. I feel like I lived a lot when I shouldn’t have.

Interview0 Comments

In her Marie Claire interview, Ora discusses her role as a drug addict who attempts to seduce a boxer played by Jake Gyllenhaal in Southpaw:

I arrived on the set, and the makeup artist said, ‘You’re kind of ready to go onstage.’ I’m like, ‘You know I’m playing a crack whore?’ Which shows: Don’t look at me when I’m waking up.

You have to come to terms with loving your body. Stand naked in front of the mirror and say, ‘I’m f-cking sexy.’ That’s where it starts.

Without complaining, without being moany, because this is what I have wanted to do all my life, I think it’s that people may forget I’m just a 23-year-old girl who wants to be in love. And even though I live and breathe my job, I still want someone to want me. That’s how every girl feels.

I’ve definitely grown up a bit, but I’m not a completely different person, I’ve just experienced a bit more: I’ve been in a relationship, I’ve seen what happens to people, I’ve even seen the drug life [around me]. Being around music is a scary place, you see how it really changes people, so I’ve experienced a lot of things – being around it all just kinda woke me up.

Rita Ora interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Ora during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about the meaning behind her song I Will Never Let You Down.

It’s basically a love song you can dance to. I wrote this with a really special person, and it was the first time I ever kind of opened my doors up for somebody I knew personally. So, this song was written out of love and I [liked it], it was convenient for the time it was written. But you know, people move on and move forward, but the song still has the same message.
