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

I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear.

What I really like seeing from the stage is people having their own moments, when people are doing some performance of their own.
