I know you'll never love me like you used to.

No one else is going to do it for you, if you want it bad enough then go out and do it yourself.

I saw Damien Rice in Dublin when I was 13, and that inspired me to want to pursue being a songwriter... I practised relentlessly and started recording my own EPs. At 16 I moved to London and played any gigs I could, selling CDs from my rucksack to fund recording the next, and it snowballed from there.

As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.

I think that this win [Grammy] in particular was a cool moment for me and the director [Emil Nava], because it was the first award he's ever won.

I'll be drunk again to feel a little love.

I would say, you can never do enough gigs and you can never do enough songs. Make sure that every opportunity you can, play a show and every opportunity you can, write a song.
