Q&A
You're auditioning for The X Factor. What do you sing and why?
"Something by The Beatles because most of the lyrics in their songs are essentially talking and don't have many high notes."
Who plays you in a film of your life?
"Keanu Reeves because I think he's shown a lot of versatility in his acting career. Don't forget he started out in the 80s in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and then went on to star in a blockbuster like The Matrix."
