I've been really inspired by my roots - my ancestors and Irish history.
My mum's got morals and principles, and I've been brought up with those ideas and beliefs.
When I first started, in 2006, it was an exciting time. Independent, cool, weird artists were being successful, and magazines were writing about them, and people were getting played on radio that were, like, really good.
I need to be someone who didn't break because of what I've been through.
The worst date I've been on was in L.A. with this guy I didn't want to be on a date with - he was just trying to take me to all these places and impress me but it was so cheesy.
