I do know what my family has done for me, but they do need to give me some space to let me be myself. There would be some things I would handle differently.

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.

The record company really pissed me off when they told me to lose weight. I couldn't be bothered with looking a certain way. So I left the business. I don't regret it.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

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?

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.
