When I was 18, I'd be out four nights a week - I want to have that energy again but I've found I'm a bit old and ready for retirement.

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.

Studying music, everyone sort of has their own style - it's not like everyone's going for the same part.

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

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

The days of an open mic night when I'd rock up in an old jumper are over.

I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage.
