People don't really know me at all.

In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.

I definitely keep myself secret.

I would like to be a positive force for young girls.

My mum is my best friend.

I trust every single person around me, and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.

Overall, I'm quite good with how I spend my cashola.

I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.

People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.

I'm not annoying in relationships! I'm great!

My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.

I've still kind of maintained a low profile but people still kind of recognize you and will come up to you, and that's taken a bit of getting used to.

I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.

Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.

I never dress to shock.

I like someone who can take the reins, who knows what they want and is strong with me.

I'm glad I was never in a band.

I think it's really hard being in a boy band. There's a lot of dynamics.

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.

In the '70s, Leo-mania was the equivalent of Beatle-mania down there and they still love me. In Australia they still want heroes.

Because I don't go to showbiz parties, I don't have the right image. The media decides who's in and who's out.

I would love the record industry to be more receptive to my music but all they are interested in is style over content.

I am the kind of person who does want very badly to be liked. I'm a right-miserable little show off.

One of the reasons I had moved to London to pursue my career was that I could go to the clubs in the evening and maybe meet my heroes, people like Donovan and Bert Jansch and Dylan. I actually did see Dylan in a club one night.
