To come home and share life experiences with friends is the key to what makes me feel really alive.

I used to have an eBay addiction. I was really good at selling stuff. My sister needed to get to a funeral in Ireland - the airlines were on strike - so I listed her on eBay: damsel in distress. Guys were outbidding guys to be the hero and help her. A guy who owned a helicopter won.

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.

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?

I always wanted to be a Muppet.

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.

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