I awoke one morning and found myself famous.

After 'Skins' I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.
Nothing could prepare you for being instantly famous.
I was for sure not prepared for fame when it happened.
So many people have to struggle for years, very few bands get success with their first record, but I was instantly successful and famous on a very large scale, which was scary.
It was very difficult to go from relative anonymity to such huge success in such a short space of time.
I think it's definitely hard for the people who just out of nowhere come in and they do really well and all of the sudden the spotlight is on them.
People thought we were a joke because we got noticed so fast.
