Quotes from Tulisa

I do love my rock music.

I know people say that all the time, but for me, it's true: Manchester really is my second home.

I had little breakdowns and depression that would last for three days. I also started suffering from panic attacks. I used to get them when I was really young, but they came back. I'd be out having a drink, and then I wouldn't be able to breathe, would freak out, and I'd feel like my heart was going to stop.

I'm one of those controversial celebs or whatever you want to call it, but I am actually a musician - people forget this.

If I could have the tabloids stop writing as much about me, and still get paid the same amount that I do, then I'd be quite happy. But I suppose it comes with the other things.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm something I'm not just because society says celebrities should be these perfect people that have to act a certain way.
