I have fun with it and I am honest and open about the way I lead my life and don't mislead anyone. I've had the time of my life and thank God for that, it would be such a waste otherwise.

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.

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

To get up on stage with a band is fantastic. To play songs to an audience is mindblowing.

In a way song writing can almost be detrimental, because suddenly you find an outlet that is a kind of cheating. You don't need to have direct communication. You can say, 'I can't describe it to you, but I will record it and send it to you.'

To come home and share life experiences with friends is the key to what makes me feel really alive.

The song is about love, life, fear and hope... and more than anything, you... and me...
