It’s too much of a drinking culture, everything tastes better with a drink. Like, watch TV: glass of wine. Cooking dinner: glass of champagne. White wine vinegar hasn’t got white wine in it. Has it?

I can't help you if you won't help yourself.

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

People think stage school is a little star factory but the truth is kids like me learned about being in a team situation and going out to work earlier than a lot of kids did. I don't know anyone from drama school who's now sitting on their arse doing nothing.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

I'm happiest with my family around me.

I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.
