Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing

Never expect, never presume, always work hard and always be true to who you are.

I can play the air guitar really, really well.

I always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.

The way I look at it, a footballer wouldn't play in flip-flops or dip their feet in acid and then expect to get to David Beckham's level. My voice is my living, so I'll be looking after it.

I had knockback after knockback before I got anywhere. After I got my first record deal I thought that was it, then Gut Records went into liquidation. I was 20. I had no idea what that meant. I had a few days to get myself out of that contract or my work would be owned by someone else.

I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I'm claustrophobic.
