When I was at college - that was the first time I tried singing. I played in a band, and people seemed to like it.

But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.

I tour a lot, sometimes like a hundred shows a year.

All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.

It's not a very high failure rate if you choose people that you really like the sound of.

I like the name Atomic Kitten. It's so great.

I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.
