Mothers always think their children are prettier than they really are, and mine has always told me I look like Tom Cruise.

I guess if you're stupid enough to join the army without thinking about getting shot at, then you really are a fool.

I know I'm a pop star. But sometime I'd like to be a rock star.

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

Absolutely, it's a really weird stage because at the minute, I can walk down the street and be unrecognised, lead a normal life, but my label and everybody is warning me that will be changing and I'm in for a rollercoaster ride.

If you get up on stage and brag, I don't think that's very brave. It's braver to get up and take your clothes off. And I do that every night.

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