We're in the age of the selfie. It's just encouraging vanity. It's not even representative of anything except how you want people to perceive you. Think of when people are partying and having fun. They're like, "Hey, look at us!" You're obviously not having that much fun because otherwise you wouldn't be stopping to document it. It's stupid.

I am a weapon of massive consumption

I think I'm like Marmite; you either love me or you hate me.

You have to be in love with yourself before anyone else can fall in love with you; to be happy with yourself.

When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in - that's when I realized I had a voice.

Because of piracy there has been a massive downturn in people buying music, which makes it more difficult for artists to make money from the sale of records.
