In my mind, there's a time and a place for putting your foot down.

I like girls who like the countryside, put on walking boots and can bend with the wind a bit. If you're going to live with me, you need to be able to embrace the countryside and wet dogs.

I consider myself very lucky indeed to have had the career I have. I listen to the radio now and you can't tell artists apart.

In my mind, there's a time and a place for putting your foot down.

I learn fast and I take note of what I've been told.

My place in Scotland is in the middle of nowhere, so you've just got a keyboard, guitar, a little drum machine and you know if you can work stuff out like that, if you can hammer out songs that sound good just with those three things and a voice, you're on your way.

I have to thank my mum for kicking me out at 16 and making me stand on my own two feet - that's how I got here.
