There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.

Don't throw me teddy-bears, I'm 23! I'm a man! Throw me condoms or money! Paper, not coins.

I have only one ambition, which is to be famous.

An awful lot of gay pop stars pretend to be straight. I'm going to start a movement of straight pop stars pretending to be gay.

What was I like? I had a high-pitched voice. Sounded a bit like a girl. Spoke with a Stoke accent, tremendously naive. Overconfident. Tremendously overconfident. And underconfident at the same time - really, really bad combination! Gets you places, though.

I couldn't live without my music, man. Or me mum.

I think there are ghosts. I haven't seen or heard anything. I've definitely felt something, but it's not scary.
