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.
I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
I'm not a loud, extravagant person; I'm never going to be that and, to be honest, I don't want to be like that. I don't show off or boast, and it's pointless to think I'm going to be any different.
I have my best ideas when I am alone.
I hate having my hair cut so I try not to.
I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.
My mum is my best friend.
My friends are the ones I've had since primary school. They're really cool and such a good bunch of people. They came to every one of my gigs before all of this happened, you know; they were there in the smoky pubs, wherever.
I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.
I love nature and enjoy learning new skills.
I like someone who can take the reins, who knows what they want and is strong with me.
My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.
I love music but, of course, I'd choose love over that.
