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.

A good song is a good song whatever your age.

The NHS is a bit iffy when you sprain an ankle, but when it's a high-priority issue, it's fantastic. They don't mess about. They're incredibly efficient when things go wrong.

But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven't been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don't take as much notice of you, it's really quite palpable.

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.

I get really frustrated if people don't smile.

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?
