This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I’m into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.

I can't stand watching myself on TV.

I'm a big fan of London in the summertime. English people are dependent on weather to change our attitudes, and, provided it's a decent summer, everyone's spirits are uplifted and the whole place is in bloom. It's a magical transformation. London in the summer, going to see bands play outside, watching football.

I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.

I'm all for being in love and whenever I like someone, I end up pretty much completely smitten.

I can pretty much live without fast food. I haven't eaten McDonald's in so long, but it's okay.

It's very difficult to juggle two careers, unless you're going to have someone put it all together for you. Because you're on TV, somebody just gives you a record deal - that's not how I'd want to get it, because it's just not real.
