I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

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

I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality.

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.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

Dad made me laugh a lot. He was a real comedian. He had a real sarcastic sense of humour, he could really make a fool out of people. I have to watch it a little bit, because I caught that habit from him. I was really fond of him. He was my idol.

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