My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.

I was the only one at stage school who wasn't white.

Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.

I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.

Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.

I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me.

If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible, it's amazing.
