I do love being solo because I can have more of my own creative input to every aspect of my career.

When people recognise me they just kind of go 'Hi how are you,' really kind of cool you know.

A lot of my childhood memories involve walking home in floods of tears. At that age, feeling unpopular is difficult to handle.

I never felt popular as a child and never had best friends.

There are so many great artists and most of them are women, but that's good - the more the merrier!

I'm not normally the kind of person who holds on to grudges, I'm really not.

I'd rather stay out of the limelight until I've done something I feel proud of.
