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 try my hardest not to read reviews.

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

I tasted huge success with my first album, and when it's happening it feels like a roller coaster you can't get off. You should be very careful about wishing for success on that scale.

A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.

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 had my autograph down by the age of 13. I used to sign it everywhere.
