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.

I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

The years between leaving school and actually becoming an adult are very important years. You make a lot of choices as to the type of life you want to lead and what type of person you want to be. There were so many people who had opinions of me, a lot of them very unflattering, that it was hard to make up my mind about who I was supposed to be.

Basically I see that song as a bunch of images which I threw together to represent the fact that I was seeing one girl and then I started seeing another, and it was just the guilt in between those two periods. The ballads I've written since have been about things that really hurt me.

Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.

Me, I don’t want any children, I don’t want responsibility. I am gay, I smoke weed and I do exactly what I want in my life because of my talent. I represent an ideal which others have had to let go and they blame me for that. Especially men.

I can't believe that I've written my best work yet. If I believed that, then I wouldn't bother releasing music anymore.
