I'd love to do something with Kelly Clarkson because she's been a monumental influence on me. I love how she handles her celebrity. She's not in the tabloids a lot but everyone knows and respects her because she's got an amazing voice. That's something I aim towards.

From the age of fifteen dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion religion as a mere sentiment is to me a dream and a mockery.

Old age is a special problem for me because I've never been able to shed the mental image I have of myself - a lad of about 19.
