People are generally badly advised when they're starting out in the creative field.

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don't think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.

As much as I love music, in my mind, photography is what makes me the happiest - that's for sure.

Anyone must remember that dad left when I was 3 years old. Mom and I lived out of the limelight. We lived a totally different life.

My goal in life has been to be a songsmith, not a pop person.

Dad once said to me that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok - that we were all going to be ok - the message would come to me in the form of a white feather. Then something happened to me about ten years ago when I was on tour in Australia. I was presented with a white feather by an Aboriginal tribal elder, which definitely took my breath away. One thing for sure is that the white feather has always represented peace to me.
