I don't see myself as a role model; people should look to mothers and sisters as role models.

I like to be able to get up and go and buy a pint of milk without bumping into 20 people I know.

In no way do I feel superior to anyone except paedophiles, rapists, murderers, etc.

When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and walk away. It's pretty mean but it's true.

People recognize me all the time now, and there's lots of autograph hunting and smiling. But then I get to play gigs, which are amazing. It's a good job.

Staying in with you is better than sticking things up my nose.

I always wanted to do music but never really had the confidence to do it until my first manager George Lamb, who I met out in Ibiza, encouraged me.
