My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.

It's always nice to be able to capture your life's experiences in a song and hold the emotion in that way.

I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?

And the one job my father knew of, that he'd had experience of himself, was the Army, so he could help me in that direction.

My parents are still together. I have two sisters. I travel the world and they are the people I speak to.

I try to read everything that I can about myself because Saddam Hussein didn't read his reviews and he thought he was winning!

I never really set out to do anything in the charts with music. It came as a total surprise that I did, and it's fun.
