The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.

Step by step, the road is long, but at the end you can touch a star.

Some people are naturally thin and some people are naturally heavier. It doesn't mean that bigger is healthier, or much thinner is healthier, it's on an individual basis.

Being mean about other people isn't on my radar.

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.

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.

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