I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.

When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

I've got quite a vivid imagination and I'm easily overwhelmed by sensations and things that are beautiful or scary. I don't think I've ever seen a ghost - I think I'm probably haunted by my own ghosts than real ones.

The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music.

I'm really careful with what the music gets put with, and we say no to so much stuff, loads of it, for things that might quadruple the sales of my album. But if it doesn't fit then it doesn't fit, you know?

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.
