People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.

You have to watch all sides of your advancement, you have to make sure people's bodies and minds are healthy and their morale is cool before you can really go out and play great music.

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.

A lot of my friends are artists or musicians or single parent families and I'm totally aware of how difficult it is for them to make ends meet.

I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!

I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn't really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening. They wanted a pop hit, which I understand in terms of making money. I get that. But what they were going to ask of me was something I wasn't prepared to deliver and I felt kind of trapped. I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling.
