Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.

As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.

I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.

I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.
