I've had everything pierced at some point.

I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

I wanted to be Snoopy's girlfriend and when I got older I wanted to be Bart Simpson's girlfriend. Then I couldn't decide whether I wanted marry Snoopy or Michael Jackson - because he was God to me - or to just be them.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

I'm a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can't.

My dad always had music playing around us and he was always a happy chirpy man with a beautiful voice. I was always singing around the house and I assumed that's what all families did. It wasn't until I went through that nasty teenage stage that I started to realise that wasn't the case.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
