I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.

Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.

I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.

There are absolutely no problems between me, my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum, but my relationship with my dad is just fine.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I like to be in control of things.
