I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

Only time will set you free, just like me

This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.

I guess I was about 15. I wore glasses at the time, and I remember [first girlfriend] sitting on the floor at a party, one of those school parties where everyone is getting off with each other. I remember her taking my glasses off and saying something very complimentary about my eyes or whatever, and I was just so pissed off because I was convinced she was taking the piss out of me.

I don't really feel I deserve something if I haven't had to fight for it. It's not a conscious attitude, and it's stupid and wrong. Sometimes you do deserve things without having to put yourself through agony.

I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.

The main downside was that it [fame] happened so quickly and I didn't have time to establish what kind of person I wanted to be.
