I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

I studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don't find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

If you took music out of my life, I don't know what I'd do. It's the one thing that I have a real passion for.

Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.

The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
