I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.

I'm a very melody-driven writer and I have a rule that I don't write anything down because if I can't remember the melody than it wasn't worth remembering. So it's my way to test myself in the studio. When I was a kid I could sing pretty well so melody always made a lot of sense to me.

I think it's the first idea I ever got about doing something on my own, because it was the first time I have ever really felt the confidence to do it.

I'll get you naked by the end of this song.

I'm a mutt as far as music is concerned, because I listen to everything.

The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.

England is the first country that I've had a no. 1 album in, so it is now officially my home away from home.
