Christmas in L.A. is weird. There's no snow. It's not even cold.

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.

You should constantly write because your writing is always evolving and progressing. It's really important to start writing young.

Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it's like your body will work against you.

Stuff just comes out all the time, sometimes when I sing live it really comes alive and I sort of... I write songs and then almost... not forget about it, but live it really comes out and I suddenly realise what I've written. I don't know where it all comes from.

I wrote 'Lights' a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with 'Biff' Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn't think it would be a big song for some reason.

I guess I'm just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
