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.

I love MySpace; it's done an amazing job for me and it's been insane over the past couple of weeks, but I'm not a poster girl for them.

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

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

I wasn't into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I'd go to all the rehearsals, and then I'd pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school.

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.

I'm really convinced I`m not talented at all, and I'm sure that people are just about to figure that out.
