I began dabbling in writing when I was 12, and there was never an official start to singing... I just sang my songs because there was no one else to sing them and no one told me to shut up!

I have a particular style of writing and my voice sounds a particular way, which lends itself to a certain style.

I feel like I always have to have a song on my album that people can use in their weddings.

I've always recognised that I have influence, whether I like it or not, and that I can use it to do something good.

I'm not quite sure where the sponsorship rumour came from... probably because I have been a spokesperson for child sponsorship so people just assumed that was the connection.

Now that I have seen I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead.

The music that I make isn't really like any of the music that I listen to. I think I listen to cool music, but I know that I don't make cool music - so it's kind of funny!
