Quotes:
  • I’m the black sheep of the family.
  • I’m glad I’m back to being a nobody.
  • I always find music guys writing about love. Think of something else for a change. I’m sorry, but it’s been done, and it does work and it’s good and all that, but I think something else would be nice. I tend not to write lyrics, cause I’m a bad lyricist. I sort of write the music, and I can orchestrate the whole thing, but the words, [singing] ‘I woke up this morning…’ Awful stuff.
  • It’s tough in this industry - it doesn’t matter whether one is auditioning for an advertisement or for a role in theatre or television - you just learn to take the hundreds of knockbacks! All these people are looking for a certain "look" for each job - the right age, height, hair type, size etc before they even consider any abilities - you learn not to get optimistic or disappointed!
