“I sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.”

“I wasn't ever a massive David Essex fan, but I liked a few of his tracks, and Stardust was one of them.”

“I don't know if it's cool to say this anymore, but I grew up listening to Gary Glitter. A majority of his songs were in that shuffle-blues beat, and I think that's probably why I tend to write like that.”

“There were certainly no spells at my school. More like a smack in the mouth.”

“Oprah Winfrey gives you the stage? Shut your mouth. I said, 'I'm sorry for taking over your show.' She said, 'No, that's why we have you here.'”

“But I don't want to sing everything out of the side of my mouth, I want people to understand what I mean.”
