Just because it's all you want, doesn't mean it's all you need.

Alternative music is no longer alternative once it’s in the mainstream.

By definition pop is extremely catchy, whether you like it or not.

My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had

My father is incapable of showing much affection, or even of carrying on a conversation. I didn't want to have a relationship with him just because he's my blood relative. It would bore me.

I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.

I'm not worried about what's going to happen when I'm thirty, because I am never going to make it to thirty. You know what life is like after thirty - I don't want that.
