I've done a lot of collaboration over the years, but right now I'm enjoying writing by myself and just being me again for a while.

If I get a cold, it lasts for a month.

Most people's journeys haven't been as disjointed as mine.

Now I know you should listen to what your body is telling you.

Pop was great fun.

Sport was my absolute love. It was very sporty household. We had my - my brother and I both loved sports.

The second album was emotionally exhausting and my life felt like it had become very serious at a very young age.

What resonates with me now is the acoustic guitar and piano.

Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.

Hodgkin's is serious and I don't want to be dismissive about it, but there are people who have gone through much worse and lost their lives to cancer.

I believe that in music and in a lot of things it's kind of like surfing, you can have a really big wave sometimes and then you can have a smaller wave.

I think Taj and Nina were better friends, because they get along, they have a lot of fun and they laugh. But it seems that Nina and Jack really hit it off. Nina really fell in love with Jack. there's a lot of chemistry between them!

I'd just recorded it in Mariah Carey's studio. THey thought the song was perfect for Nina, because she's so shy, so it was nice to have that connection with Nina in the song. It was special.

Well, Neighbours wanted to do a song on the show, and they asked me what songs I had. I told them I'd just written this song, called Born to Try, and I had just gone overseas and spoken to some people from Song about it.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'

When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.

I need to keep traveling, being a gypsy, having experiences and writing about them.

I always had long hair. When you lose it, you realise just how important it is to your identity.

I feel I lost my innocence to cancer.

I have been singing for as long as I could talk.
