taken inspiration school
Being sent away to boarding school at seven is as great an inspiration as any songwriter could have - to be taken away from one's family and locked away for 10 years. It does create an incredible intensity of emotion.
thinking night clothes
If you get up on stage and brag, I don't think that's very brave. It's braver to get up and take your clothes off. And I do that every night.
men choices given
Honestly if men are given a choice, we'll choose everything.
mistake writing men
I write, "Give me reason but don't give me choice, because I'll make the same mistake again." I think that's what most men want to be told.
song love-life
The song is about love, life, fear and hope… and more than anything, you… and me…
writing thinking white
I don't know how to write without thinking what people would want. You don't know whether they want you to be black or white, so you kind of get a gray, something in the middle.
break-up ex-boyfriend care
It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care
fun surprise
I never really set out to do anything in the charts with music. It came as a total surprise that I did, and it's fun.
stupid love-is life-is
My life is brillant, My love is pure.
two people parent
My parents are still together. I have two sisters. I travel the world and they are the people I speak to.
stupid army years
If the Army helped towards my tuition fees I would then give them four years of my life.
song stupid taken
It's taken a long time but eventually when I had the songs in place and demos right and I found myself a manager, that's when everything started happening quickly but I think that's always the way it is.
break-up dream ex-boyfriend
I am a dreamer but when I wake, you can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take
song lying writing
I write songs about my own experiences. You can't lie to yourself. You can't pose to yourself.
