I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.

And the one job my father knew of, that he'd had experience of himself, was the Army, so he could help me in that direction.

No matter whether you are black or white, man or woman, gay or straight, Christian, Muslim, or Jew, we all share the same emotions, the same human condition.

I'm pretty sure Adele and James Blunt were dumped by the same man.

If the Army helped towards my tuition fees I would then give them four years of my life.

I write songs about my own experiences. You can't lie to yourself. You can't pose to yourself.

My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.
