Lorde says her mother stops her from becoming a diva.
The 18-year-old singer has achieved worldwide global pop success since the release of her debut album 'Pure Heroine' last year but she still travels everywhere with her mum, poet Sonja Yelich, and she puts a stop to any histrionics straight away.
She revealed: "I live at home, in my childhood bedroom. I travel with my mum and if I were to ever say anything a little bit diva-esque, she'd knock it right down."
Although she has achieved her musical dreams at a young age, Lorde still enjoys living the life of a regular teenager and as soon as she gets home to Takapuna in Auckland, New Zealand, she reconnects with her friends.
And her pals love to mercilessly tease her about her pop star status.
The 'Royals' singer - who has just compiled the soundtrack for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' - told Time Out magazine: "It's important to me that I'm still in touch with my teenage life, even if what I'm doing every day may not be strictly teenage. So the second I get home I'm calling my friends. I love being young and I want to retain that for as long as possible, even if I am like an old lady and working all the time.
"My friends all tease me. We'll go out and get food, and without fail one of them will say, really loud, 'Oh my god! Is that Lorde?' It's so horrible, but they're great."

Mel C is too scared to join Tinder.
The 40-year-old star - whose full name is Melanie Chisholm - refuses to comment on whether or not she currently has a boyfriend but insists she's far too scared to use online dating services.
Speaking about trying out the app on her friend's phone, she said: "I've never been able to do Tinder, so I was like, 'I really wanna have a go - I feel left out!' So we started messaging some hunky guy. It's going well - we found her a winner!"
Quizzed on whether she'd ever consider joining herself, she added: "I think I'd be scared - dating's scary."
The former Spice Girls singer - who has five-year-old daughter Scarlet from her relationship with property developer Thomas Starr - has been linked to former 'X Factor' winner Matt Cardle and radio DJ Chris Moyles recently but insists she's not comfortable discussing her romantic life.
She added to Now magazine: "I'm not really talking about my personal life, I think it's safer kept that way. I've never been comfortable with having my personal life in the public domain."
However, Mel's fellow former Spice Girls singer Mel B isn't quite as reserved when it comes to speaking about her private life as she recently admitted she has experimented with women in the past.
When asked about straight women who had become lesbians, the 39-year-old singer said: "Yeah. I was one of those for a few years."

Naya Rivera thinks Mary J. Blige is "amazing" for banning her husband from having female friends.
The 'Glee' star, who wed Ryan Dorsey in Mexico in July just three months after ending her romance with Big Sean, doesn't trust other women around him and agrees with the 'No More Drama' hitmaker's marriage rules.
Discussing Mary's recent revelation that she and husband Kendu Isaacs agreed not to have pals of the opposite sex, the 27-year-old actress said: "I think that's amazing. I'm with Mary. I just got married and I'm pretty sure I told my husband that like two days ago."
Naya also told 'The View': "It's really not so much a rule as I understand it, because I feel like you're playing with fire and opening up the floodgates here, and you're having issues in your marriage, but someone is going to talk to the opposite sex to get advice or whatever and you should be talking to your partner. So I don't believe in it."
The brunette beauty insists she trusts Ryan but doesn't trust other women.
She said: "It's not so much that you like don't trust your relationship or your husband or your wife or anything. You kind of don't trust outsiders and other people. You don't know what their motives are.
"I feel like there's a difference between having an issue with that when you're married and when you're just dating someone. I feel like when you're married, if you're now someone's wife, I'm sorry, ladies, but you got to get back a little bit more. It's different."

Tracy Morgan is still "fighting to get better" following his car crash in New Jersey in June.
The former '30 Rock' star, who suffered brain injuries, a broken femur, broken nose and broken ribs when a Walmart truck smashed into the limo bus in which he was travelling in with friends in New Jersey, is trying to get back to the person he once was.
Speaking outside the federal courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey, his lawyer Benedict Morelli said: "Mr. Morgan is a fighter. He's fighting to get better.
"If there's a chance to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he is going to try to do that. We just don't know."
But Morelli admitted Tracy is still struggling, according to NJ.com.
Asked if he is doing much better, he replied: "He's doing better.
"We are hoping and praying to get him back to the way he was. But the jury's out."
Tracy was extremely upset when Walmart recently accused him of being at least partially responsible for his injuries, as the company believes he wasn't wearing a seatbelt when the crash took place.
He hit back at the retail giant on Twitter, writing: "My friends and I were doing nothing wrong."
Aside from his physical injuries, Tracy is also grieving the loss of his friend James 'Jimmy Mack' McNair, 62, who was killed in the crash.

Nicki Minaj plans to take a "vacation" from music to have a baby.
The 31-year-old singer, who is gearing up to release her third album, 'The Pinkprint,' next month, says she would be "disappointed" if she isn't married with children by the time she releases her fifth album, but is worried she won't let herself take a break.
Asked what her biggest fear is, she said: "That I'll become so consumed with work that I'll forget to live my personal life to the fullest. If I'm done with my fifth album and I don't have a child by then, no matter how much money I have, I would be disappointed, as a woman, because I feel like I was put here to be a mother."
The 'Pills N Potions' hitmaker, who split from long-term boyfriend Safaree Samuels earlier this year, admits she has "put off" getting married in the past.
She said: "I have definitely put off the wife thing because I don't want people in my business. I'd rather not do anything that's going to be on paper but I definitely will be married before I have my baby. I want to make sure I do it in that order. I've always felt like that since I was young; my mother always put that in my head. By the fifth album, I will have walked down the aisle and I will at least be on baby number one, possibly baby number two. And have $500 million."
Nicki grew up in New York, but now lives in Los Angeles and feels guilty about not having enough time to spend with her loved ones.
She told Complex magazine: "I've struggled with a lot of guilt. When you're working and you're busy and you're successful, no matter what, something suffers, whether it's your relationship with your mother, your relationship with your whole family, not being able to go to your brother's graduation....
"I go to New York all the time and I'm so ashamed to say that I could be out there for a few days and not even be able to see my family because of my schedule."

Gwen Stefani admits she is "really jealous" of Christina Aguilera.
The 'Baby Don't Lie' hitmaker is upset that she hand back her role as a mentor on 'The Voice' USA to the 33-year-old beauty next year, as the 'Your Body' singer has had a rotating spot on the panel since the series began in 2011.
The 45-year-old star confessed: "I feel really jealous of Christina. I feel weird that they are doing it without me."
The No Doubt star says she will definitely miss the show because she really enjoyed it.
She told E! News: "I got so much out of this, way more than I ever thought."
Christina, who gave birth to daughter Summer Rain in August with fiancé Matthew Rutler and has son, Max, six, with ex-husband Jordan Bratman, has already started shooting season eight of the reality singing competition, which will air next spring.
A source previously claimed she was worried Gwen might be offered a permanent spot on the panel.
The insider said: "Christina is extremely threatened by [her temporary replacement] Gwen. She knows that if the ratings are higher on Gwen's season than they were on hers, the producers may have no choice but to ask Gwen to stay on.
"She's ready to fight for her spot."

Dr. Luke wants allegations that he sexually assaulted Kesha to be dismissed from their court battle.
Lawyers for the music producer, who is counter-suing the 'Tik Tok' hitmaker after she filed legal documents seeking to have their record contract dissolved and accused him of sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her for almost a decade, have argued that Kesha's claim that she was raped by him is barred by the statute of limitations because it could not have occurred within the past two years.
The music executive's lawyers are also seeking to have a claim of gender violence thrown out because it has a three-year statute of limitations.
Responding to the filing, Kesha's lawyer Mark Geragos said: "Dr. Luke is hiding behind a legally flawed motion which we expect won't work."
The 'Blow' hitmaker denied during a deposition for an unrelated lawsuit in 2011 that Dr. Luke - real name Lukasz Gottwald - had made any sexual advances towards, but her lawyer said the producer threatened her would hurt her if she ever discussed the alleged rape.
If dismissed, six other allegations including sexual harassment, civil harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress will remain in the civil case unless the music producer files separate motions.
Dr. Luke is also suing Kesha's mother, Pebe Serbet, claiming she orchestrated a smear campaign of lies against him and tried to extort him in a desperate attempt to get the 27-year-old singer out of her contract with him.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were very affectionate during a romantic date in New York City.
The couple, who got engaged in August 2012 and are rumoured to be considering getting married in the city next month, watched six performances at the 24 Hour Plays event on Monday night (17.11.14), where they were spotted cuddling up together.
An eyewitness said the 'Horrible Bosses 2' actress, 45, and 'The Leftovers' actor, 43, "were very discreet when they walked in and they sat in the balcony of the theatre."
The source also told E! News: "Jennifer was wearing glasses and Justin was in his staple leather jacket. They were both sitting closely together. Justin had his hand around her and they were both laughing over the funny performances. It was a true date night!"
The couple recently flew back to the US from London, where they attended the premiere of Jennifer's new comedy last week.
'Les Miserables' Amanda Seyfried, 28, and boyfriend Justin Long, 36, were also at the event and performed in one production before joining Aniston and Theroux on the balcony, where they also showed off "major PDA [Public Displays of Affection]."
The eyewitness added: "Justin and Amanda were so sweet."

Scarlett Johansson's family is the biggest source of joy in her life.
The 29-year-old actress, who gave birth to her first child, Rose, six weeks ago, also says her French fiancé Romain Dauriac makes her laugh.
Asked what brings her the greatest joy, the 'Her' star said: "My family. And Key lime pie."
In a list of 20 questions for Marie Claire magazine, the blonde beauty also revealed what makes her cry, saying: "Thoughtfulness and my sister's sentimentality."
Scarlett, who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds, would like to have dinner with Bono, David Bowie and the late actress Bette Davis.
The 'Vicki Cristina Barcelona' star says the best gift she's ever received was from the movie's director, Woody Allen, who gave her his iconic glasses.
She is also a huge fan of "acupuncture" and would love to take a "three-month tour of India," even though she feels like "moving" is on her perennial to-do list.
The actress, who relocated to Paris last year, moved back to New York City shortly before giving birth to Rose in early September and a source previously revealed she is now searching for a new home in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, now that she is a mother, Scarlett admits her greatest indulgence is "taking a long bath followed by a long nap."
