There are so many things to think about when you make an album. Like, who am I trying to impress? Am I going to get respect, critical acclaim? Or am I going to sell lots of records?

Because I've always been a runner I love to feel that my body is shining on the inside. I wear baggy clothes, so it's not as though I like showing it off. I just like to know I'm great on the inside.

When I heard Bjork's debut, that was when I first realized that I could be a singer, even with my unusual voice.

I was quite a weird kid because I didn't like getting presents. I don't know why. I just went for books all the time.

You never know what to expect. You don't just walk on and expect an amazing reaction.

I find male singers and what they sing about fascinating. It makes me realize how little we know about ourselves and how little I know about myself. It's interesting to see the male perspective.

I've never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to be a famous person or anything like that, and I think my fans know that as well.
