I was clear that I wanted to do music and I wanted to write songs. But I wasn't clear about how I was going to make that happen. I wrote loads of songs but didn't want to show them to anyone.
heard pops top
I think I heard it once on Top Of The Pops and thought it was very bland,
bit music work
I think it's a bit of a myth that if you can read music you can write music. It doesn't work like that.
thinking people singing
Saying that you've got acoustic instruments and that's traditional and so people will think it's more intimate, that will always be the case. It's a more intimate sound, so it's going to sound more direct whatever you're singing about.

There's not that much English folk music that is really that appealing.

You don't get bored making an album.

I honestly find it easier to dance about in heels than I do to walk down the street in them.

Any abuse of animals is the same as abuse of men, women, or children.

I think making an album is a difficult thing.

Always have sunglasses with you. They're great for when you can't be bothered to put make-up on.

bored cool great interested met music people relate seemed though
But what's great about working with Will is that I was so bored of working with people who seemed to be much more interested in what was cool or fashionable. Will is very open-minded and even though he's classically trained, he's the only person I've ever met that I feel I can relate to musically. He understands how I think about music and vice-versa.
