Having a hangover with small children is never a good idea. I did it once and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made, I've never felt so ill in my life. You have to get out of bed and look after your kid who doesn't care if you've got a sore head.

Music has always been there for me and is what's helped me through everything. It's like my solace.

I bought a dress a few years ago for £2,500. It was outrageous and not the kind of money you want to be spending. I had a mad moment that day.

I'm quite a romantic person - everyone loves being treated a little bit special, no matter how hard you are on the surface. I live in movie land; my head is full of nonsense.

I can have a whole year off. I'm really lucky because I'm my own boss, so I make the rules and get to choose when I take time off.

There is nothing better for me than to bring the bells in, in Scotland.

Songwriters tend to make records instead of talking to people.
