Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it!

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?

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

Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.

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.

There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.

You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
