If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush its tender petals.

I suppose it's nice to have some surprise in life and to surprise yourself in life and see what else you can do.

You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.

I'm not big on rap, to be honest. I just don't get it. It's angry people shouting. I like a song, melodies, people singing.

I don't think about what I can't do or what I shouldn't be doing. I just think there are endless possibilities musically, really.

I wear jeans and a T-shirt sometimes. I just like clothes - since the first time I can remember, like age ten or eleven; I was just obsessed with music and clothes. Just like a lot of people in England from my generation.

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.
