My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.

I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

My whole career was launched in such sort of poptastic style with 'Kids In America', and I liked - and like - being poptastic. Songs big on melody, high on energy, lots of attitude... what's wrong with that?

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

I was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I've always known that.
