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

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

I'm pretty sure Adele and James Blunt were dumped by the same man.

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.

Things take a long time, but when it's right things move fast.

The showbiz world has to be manipulated to make it more interesting because most people's lives are boring.
