Even if I know that really it's not a great song, even if it's a naff song but I have a good memory of it, then to me that's a great song.

I like to try and mix diction and experiences.

It's strange to think that I can go places and people want to hear my music. I guess that's all I ever wanted.

While I was travelling and I kind of had the classic realisation - that I guess most teenagers have at some point - that time's gonna run out and that's not in my power to change that.

When I'm playing guitar, I just try and put those words into lyrics and just try a few things. It's all over the place.

I think the lesson that I learnt very early on was to listen to people you work with, because you're all in it together.

I guess it's kind of the obvious thing for me to do 'cuz it's what I grew up listening to. The songs growing up and everything kind of seem like old music to them, but to me, it's just... good music. And of course I did grow up in England in the 21st Century and that does come into it as well.
