I awoke one morning and found myself famous.

After 'Skins' I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.
Nothing could prepare you for being instantly famous.
I was for sure not prepared for fame when it happened.
So many people have to struggle for years, very few bands get success with their first record, but I was instantly successful and famous on a very large scale, which was scary.
It was very difficult to go from relative anonymity to such huge success in such a short space of time.
People thought we were a joke because we got noticed so fast.
I think it's definitely hard for the people who just out of nowhere come in and they do really well and all of the sudden the spotlight is on them.
