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 saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.

I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.
