One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

America saw me as a projection of me that I always wanted. Thats why I love going to America so much. I feel like I started off in America exactly how I wanted to start everywhere.

I'm a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.

I played recorder in assembly, then I became passionate about the guitar, I don't know why. I started on electric then moved to acoustic - my brother was playing bass in the next room.

Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.

I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I've spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I've always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black.
