I never manage to get to bed early on Sunday night but this doesn't matter, as I don't know one level of exhaustion from another.

You have to apply yourself because you'll never get a better opportunity than the one you have right now. Having said that, people know by now if they like me or not. I don't need to prove anything.

Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it's not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.

Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.

I think there's quite a lot of cowardice in music. I don't mind if it goes wrong, I just want to go for it.

When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it's a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?
