When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.

I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.

I've done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I'm dead, so I might as well write the script.

There's not another drug in life that I'm glad I took but grass.

[My father] was not a musical man.

The main downside was that it [fame] happened so quickly and I didn't have time to establish what kind of person I wanted to be.

I just feel "One More Try" is better lyrically. "Careless Whisper" was written when I was 17 years old, and I had not really experienced anything that strong in my life, so it was a bit precocious.
