One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

I've just become quite fixated on the idea of calmness and peacefulness somewhere, someday.

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

After shows my face feels dirty with makeup and sweat, especially in the smaller venues, so it feels good to get back to the bus and smooth it away. Sometimes you need something alcohol-based, especially on tour when you don't always get a chance to keep washing your face all the time.

Since I met Starsmith, my producer, I really feel like I'm making music because we write it together and produce it together. I've got a proper involvement in the end product as opposed to just writing a song and finding someone else to produce it.

My hairdresser in the U.K., Adam Reed, has his own line, Percy and Reed, and it's really good. And I use Moroccan Oil and Kerastase as well.
