It's good to actually cry. Trust me, I've had a lot of practice over the years!

I'm sick of running away from things.

I don't really know what 'a dark place' means. I have windows in my house, and I'm generally an upbeat person! A lot of people throw that word at me because I wear a lot of black and leather.

All the best parts of art come from pain turned to celebration.

Every bad thing that's happened to me has defined me, has shaped, has moulded me.

I was born in Bradford, a city in the north of England that God forgot about. A place where most people never leave, but if they do, they certainly never go back.

My dad went to jail for a long time. We lost everything, and the situation never resolved itself. My parents had this sort of passionate, disastrous desire for each other - not ideal to grow up in.
