I'm quite a particular singer, and I need to feel like I can bite into the song, in a way, to make it my own. You want the challenge of the songs having some attitude.

If my life were a song it would be called 'Don't Stop Believing'. Yeah.

I didn't really want to give up music.

I just sat down and thought, I'm going to write a song today, I'm going to give it a try. So I just stuck it on a tape like everything else. That was just another song.

But most of my songs were about believing in yourself, standing up for yourself and fighting for what you believe in.

I have always been a sucker for the big, upbeat chorus.

I don't think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world.

Attitude is everything.

Before 'Gangnam Style' I was not a good attitude artist.
