π’ “When I almost got busted in Trafalgar Square whilst carrying class A drugs. I was psyching myself up for a search and a night in the cells, because I was completely wired when the two cops searched me. I had half a gramme of speed in my pocket, but somehow they didn't find it. Someone up there likes me.”

π’ “I went to my first ever, and possibly last ever, football match in Dundee on Boxing Day. I went with our manager Dave, who's a Dundee United fan, because I was staying in Dundee with my Mum anyway. I froze my bollocks off, but it was an okay match.”

π’ “The new 'Romeo and Juliet' movie – it's excellent. It's set in modern times, and it's totally amazing with a cool, totally modern soundtrack. I'm really into films. On tour we play this game called Cinemaphobia, where you have to link different actors through the films they've been in with other people. Usually, any two actors can be linked via their co-stars within three films...”

I was at a party once and this guy spent half an hour chatting me up before he realised I wasn't a girl. He only copped on because I finally said 'My name is Brian' – and he laughed and said 'How can your name be Brian if you're a girl?'. I think he was a little disappointed.”

You drink too much whiskey, shout a lot and get energetic for a couple of hours, then at some point in the evening you have a complete freak-out, and burst into tears and end up lying in the road.”
