Leona Lewis Thinking Quotations

I think it's really hard being in a boy band. There's a lot of dynamics.

I think when people see that you are shy, or even just calm, collected and reserved, they think you can be pushed around, made to do everything they want - but that's definitely not true of me. The people closest to me know that's not the case. They know I'm not a pushover.

I don't think I have the right to give someone advice when I don't know them.

Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them.

Sometimes I think I want to get 'hair and make up' every day, but that's just not possible.

I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.
