I made a creativity out of that messiness.

Sometimes, with autobiographies, it turns into a bit of score-settling. And looking back, I don't feel the way I did then, and you kind of grow up and let it go behind you.

I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.

Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process.
