People expect you to be this weird cartoon sometimes when you're a musician. I hate that. I hate standing out. I hate people looking at me. I just want to be part of the crowd.

I don't want people to think they have to like me because I'm on TV every other minute.

I guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.

I think as long as you're being creative and finding your own work interesting, that's all that matters.

The first time I went out under the spotlight, I was proper freaked out.

I used to play the piano when I was younger, and I loved Alicia Keys. I wanted to be Alicia Keys; she was such an idol to me.

I would love to have the biggest band that I can have. I'd love to put on a massive show and just give people their money's worth, then just come away from it thinking, 'That was a good show', because it's kind of disappointing sometimes when you go and see someone and you can see they're not that bothered.
