When You Decide To Do

I Was A Loner As A Child And Happiest At Home, Launching Toy Rockets And Aeroplanes. When I Started Causing Trouble In My Third Year At Grammar School, Mum Was Really Surprised. My Parents Sent Me To A Child Psychologist, Who Suggested I Might Have Asperger's Syndrome.

I'm Very Lucky In The Sense That I've Got A Voice That's Distinctive. Not Good, But Distinctive. That's A Very Useful Thing To Have In This Business. I'm Glad On The One Hand That I've Got It, But I Wish It Was More Powerful. I Wish I Had A Greater Range. I Wish It Was More Accurate At Times.

Strangely Enough, When The Sugababes' 'freak Like Me' Went To Number 1, Which Was Built Around My 'are 'friends' Electric' Song, I Had Another Song Called 'rip' Go To Number 1 In The Kerrang Tv Chart, So I Was Pulling New People In From Very Different Areas Of Musical Interest. That Was Quite An Amazing Week.

I Don't Believe In Sharing My Money. If I Go Out And Work My Nuts Off And Make Some Money, I Don't Feel That I Should Have To Share It With My Community.

Maybe I Over-do The 'not-80s' Thing. It Should Be A Part Of My Life That I've Got Some Sort Of Pride In, But I've Got This Huge Chip On My Shoulder About '80s Nostalgia - And It Annoys Fans Sometimes.
