I think sensitive is the wrong description of me. I'm British, actually, so quite bad at expressing myself in conversation, as any ex-girlfriend will tell you. I'm probably emotionally stunted.

I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.

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.

I write, "Give me reason but don't give me choice, because I'll make the same mistake again." I think that's what most men want to be told.

Every person I've met has influenced my songs.

The song is about love, life, fear and hope... and more than anything, you... and me...

This will be my first visit [to Israel]. I've heard it's a special place, that Tel Aviv is exciting and that the atmosphere is excellent....I hope I'll have time to visit the holy places.
