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.

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

I have always felt that I have observed life in a different way to others... Music has always been one creative outlet for me, but now I'm happy to add another one too, that being photography

I think everyone has the potential to be creative but they have to find the avenue or avenues that work for them.

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

You never know how your work is going to be received.

I have a short temper - I think it's part of the Celtic background. I used to be a lot more angry, but I was quite discreet with it.
