First my mother was Spanish. Then she became a Jehovahs Witness.

A lot of people have said that I've got a voice that speaks to children. I think I've got a natural naivety to me. I'm childish.

Becoming a solo singer is like going from an eau de toilette to a perfume. It's much more intense.

A pat on the back is six inches away from a kick up the ass.

For me reading was always the great escape without getting your fingers burnt.

I have never sung a whole song on my own before and I am not the best dancer in the world, but I would rather try and fall than not not try at all.

I have always wanted a solo career, deep in the darkest pit of myself, but I didn't dare admit it to myself even. It took me a long time to confront my fears.
