Ora appears on the July cover of Marie Claire magazine:
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.

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.

That’s why I was obsessed with it; learning what men don’t understand about women and what women don’t understand about men. I was obsessed with the painting a long time ago, and then I got it done six months ago.
