My first real acting job was 'Skins' at eighteen years old, and I just kind of grew into myself in those two years; I would have done terribly if I'd have got that job at sixteen.
I would never want to be selected to a team just because I am going to set a record. It's critical to me to earn my way.
As for my stuff, I'm just doing guest verses for other people's records. I try to stay recording, because if I don't, I get rusty.
I have to work really hard to get the record deal - I have to spend years at it to get good. I have to practice to be good at guitar.
My history writing was based on what I saw in strange, exotic places rather than just reading books.
When I was young, I just sat down and started playing Chopsticks at the piano. I got so far and then lost interest. Eventually, I regained it and started writing songs.
I wanted to be part of pop culture, so I started songwriting, and I got signed to my first record deal.
I wrote my first book when I was 15 years old. And my second book '1,2,3 Publish Me!' shows everyone how writing a book is done in just the three secret editing levels I discovered!
I try to keep the idea that there's an audience in as little space in my mind as possible, but you can't erase it entirely, the idea that when you're sitting down to write a song, people are going to hear it.
