Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.

Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.

I'd love to be an artist always, but if no one wants me, I'd love to write songs for other people, be a manager, nurture new talent.

I'm like the opposite of one of those comedians who's funny on stage and depressed behind closed doors . On record, I can get pretty dark, but in real life I'm very carefree. But when I'm happy, I ain't writing songs, I'm out having a laugh, being in love. I wouldn't have the time. If I ever get married, it'll be 'Darling, I need a divorce, it's been three years, I've got a record to write!'

I will not do festivals. The thought of an audience that big frightens the life out of me.

I love a bit of drama. That's a bad thing. I can flip really quickly.

I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you
