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

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

I am very patriotic and grew up in a house with football fans.

I'd love to break America, like all artists do. It's a lot of work but, you know, it's got to be done!

I am quite a private person.

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

I can be very passionate but I also have a bit of a hot temper - when pushed.
