I dont hate L.A. There's a very beautiful side to it; it's scenic, and I can go horse riding.
Music TV in the U.K. is disappearing. 'Top Of The Pops,' 'CD:UK' and shows like that have gone, and it's bringing down the music industry. We should do as much as we can to keep our music TV and producers need to be more willing to accommodate live music.
If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible, it's amazing.
It takes bravery to end a relationship.
Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.
I usually dream of melodies. When I wake up I have them in my head. I usually come up with things in the middle of the night because that's when my mind is the quietest. I always have my tape recorder, pen and pad by my bed just in case.
I can't remember who told me but I was advised early on not to Google myself or read things about myself... I don't read a lot but get the gist of what's been said from friends and family. It's good to avoid it if you want to be normal person.
David Bowie is such a big influence to me. Everything about him as a person is intriguing to me.
I would love to sing opera.
I'm not annoying in relationships! I'm great!
I've always been conscious of my weight.
I never dress to shock.
In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.
I call myself a vegetarian with vegan tendencies.
