Who says soul has only one colour?

I've had to grow up with everyone watching me, which has been hard.

Basically, I was a freak show. This kid with this big old voice. I was a travelling freak.

It's like, 'You're not allowed to change. That's not fair. We like you like this.' But I don't. So let me expand and express myself.

I didn't write those songs, but I can relate to every one of them... I have.

People forget what it was like to be young, the stuff I'm expressing now is for the first time.

I'm supposed to be taking time off. But I'm still writing and I have this Gap advert lined up.

For me, personally, Mind, Body and Soul is my real debut.

I wanted out of my record deal with EMI. They wanted me to record one type of album; I wanted to record the type of music I wanted to make.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.
