I'm obsessed with choirs, and always have been, because of that sense of overwhelming vocals.

Worst nightmares can also appear with your eyes open.

My style of playing is more enthusiasm and instinct than skill.

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.

I love performing outside because it's as if the heavens are open and the elements become part of the stage show as well - you know, the wind and the rain and the thunder. It's almost as if there's a sense of invocation in performance.

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.

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.
