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

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

I have friends who were friends of mine before I did music and they are my friends now, and we share life experiences. It's no fun unless you're sharing with people, looking out for them as they are looking out for you.

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

It's always nice to be able to capture your life's experiences in a song and hold the emotion in that way.

I try to read everything that I can about myself because Saddam Hussein didn't read his reviews and he thought he was winning!

As a singer-songwriter who gets up on stage and sings about those things that make me vulnerable is an amazing experience. You get up on stage and effectively take your clothes off in front of thousands of people.
