"I'm a very driven, ambitious, positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well. I believe in creative visualization. So for me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water"
About this Quote
America, in this telling, isn’t a country so much as a mood board: a "positive place" that rewards reinvention. Coming from a British pop ecosystem notorious for its tabloid cynicism, she frames the U.S. as the arena where aspiration is allowed to be earnest without embarrassment. The subtext is reputational triage: if you’re going to be famous for wanting things - fame, fashion credibility, a bigger platform - you’d rather be judged by Americans, who tend to respect the hustle, than by Brits, who often punish it.
"I took to it like a duck to water" seals the pitch. It’s folksy, disarming, deliberately unglamorous. She’s saying: I belong here. Not because I’m trying to escape where I came from, but because my mindset matches the market. It’s cultural translation as brand strategy, with a soft spiritual gloss that makes ambition sound like destiny.
