I think it's really important to do what you want to do because in the long-run it's your career, you want everything to go well and you want to be happy with what you're doing. It was really important for me to take control of my career.

I like to experiment a lot, I just like to make myself look different to everyone else. Shopping at all different places from vintage to high-street, and then I just put it together myself.

If people want me to be their role-model, it would be nice.

I just want my songs to be memorable, and for people to hear my songs in ten year's time and remember the great times they had while listening to 'em.

This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.

On that very first day, when I queued up, in the thousands, I never expected to get very far

I try and make all my songs sound different from each other while doing it in a way that's still me. It's a tricky thing to do.
