chewed great music people prepare
'The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.
people packaging
Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.
people
I'm always sticking up for other people.
song writing people
Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it's not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.
school people done
Yes, being educated is definitely an advantage. But having said that, I've met so many people in life who haven't done very well at school but who are still really bright.
people entertainment spats
The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.
people attention littles
But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven't been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don't take as much notice of you, it's really quite palpable.
differences people crowds
A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.
careers long people
I started my music career at 18 and for a long while I let other people handle my affairs.
lying thinking people
There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.
people frustrated ifs
I get really frustrated if people don't smile.
opportunity people needs
You have to apply yourself because you'll never get a better opportunity than the one you have right now. Having said that, people know by now if they like me or not. I don't need to prove anything.
hate thinking people
I don't think anyone doubts my motives, really. I do what I do and it's not very complicated. Of course, you might hate the music that I make, but I don't think people feel threatened by me just getting on with what I'm up to.
thinking people house
I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.
