I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.

I always wanted to be a Muppet.

I am a dreamer but when I wake, you can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take

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 don't know how to write without thinking what people would want. You don't know whether they want you to be black or white, so you kind of get a gray, something in the middle.

It's taken a long time but eventually when I had the songs in place and demos right and I found myself a manager, that's when everything started happening quickly but I think that's always the way it is.

Ladies love a soppy lyric. There's a real winner in 'Carry You Home'.
