I did actually like school. When I was 17, I was in college, but before that, I was home-schooled. I was very social. I liked to know everyone.

I like doing very high action things. Running, boxing, a lot of free weights. They're not heavy. I eat what I want, really, because I think that while you're working out you can eat better.

As a teenager I had friends who had little music studios in their bedrooms and garages. I'd go and play around; very soon, my hobby became a passion.

I got a job as soon as I could - 11 or 12. I started babysitting and then I got a part-time job at a pharmacy in England. I just remember loving the feeling of going out and buying my own clothes! I'd go bargain-hunting and get secondhand vintage stuff.

A lot of my songs are about taking whatever life throws at you and making the most of it.

I hate that feeling of being so full that you feel like you're gonna burst, so I try not to do that.

The way that I approach music has a bit of a sense of humor to it. Something slightly different that people can still relate to.
