I was on Ghetto Idol. We didn't have any of the stuff they have now.

The fact that I get to do what I love and 14 years in, I'm still doing it - I don't know how anything could get better.

When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.

I know a lot of artists say, `If you want your song on my record, I get 50 per cent' I'd like to kick them in the face.

Now all that's left of me, is what I pretend to be. So together, but so broken up inside.

If I can wake up everyday before I die and know that I don't have to serve anyone food or drinks, I will be happy!

I think one thing you could probably say for all my albums is that they're all pretty eclectic pop. There's always a little bit of urban influence, some dance, a little bit of country, singer-songwriter, pop-rock. I like everything! On every album you can find that.
