I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.

It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.

If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.

Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.

Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there, when you're hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.

I really want it to have an impact on the world. I want to be in a town on the other side of the world, and somebody walks up and says, 'That music you made in Glasgow, I listened to it every day, and it moved me.'

The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
