I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.

I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.

You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.

I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me card »">birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.

I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.

I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.

The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.
