There were a few 6th form girls that I got with when I was I the 6th form, they were really nice, so that was cool.
Busted is not the ideal band I'd like to be in by any stretch of the imagination.
I started to hate fame, I didn't want to go out, because I didn't want to be recognised for what I was being recognised for.
I understand how hard rock fans feel inside out, because I was one of those people.
I wanted to play music. I didn't think about where it would go or what it would do.
I was fine with everything except Maths. I was terrible at Maths.
I've taken my destiny into my own hands and I'm in a happy place.
I'm incredibly proud of everything that we've achieved in Busted. We've enjoyed some of the best times in our lives together.
I've lived my career backwards - I started off huge and I've got smaller and more personal, and I'm much more comfortable now.
The Busted thing happened when I was 16. I saw an opportunity, took it and it was better than being at school. It was a fun job but I'd never claim Busted was anything other than a pop band.
I wouldn't go back and change anything.
I've got so many musical personalities, I could probably get treatment for it.
