But I don't like working on lyrics publicly in the studio - I prefer to take them away and work on them in my bedroom.

Turning the thermostat down is something that I do pretty reluctantly. I like to be able to walk around in whatever I fancy at home.

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.

Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.

I've got a thing for footwear; I have about 200 pairs of shoes from all over the world.

I can definitely tell when mum has got money because then she likes to go shopping to spend it, whereas dad is steadier and avoids splurges. I like to think I've inherited both sides.

I've been DJing a little bit, so you get used to the fact that music sounds brilliant when it's loud.
