Heartbreak has definitely been a big inspiration for me. You can write about a bad situation and just feel so much better afterwards. For me it's very therapeutic. But love in general - even when it's good - is always very inspiring.

You know, I think anybody who has been in relationships has access to heartbreak - I don't think we have to go far to find it, whether we inflicted the heartbreak or whether we were the recipient of it.

A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.

My first heartbreak was extreme. I went to Australia for 10 months when I was at school and told the girl I was madly in love with not to come out to see me - and of course, when I came back, she met me at the airport to tell me she'd met someone else.

Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.

Heartbreak is hard, but you find more and more things to be grateful for every day.

For the most part, that message hasn't changed a lot over the years - love is still love, and heartbreak is still heartbreak.

My heart has never been broken, I've never broken anyone else's.

I've been heartbroken. I've broken hearts. That's part of life, and its part of figuring out who you are so you can find the right partner.

When you go through heartbreak, you just do the things that get you by. Eventually, you realise it's about making the most of life.
