I can imagine moving out to the seaside at some point. I like Brighton, my sister lives there. I'm a seaside boy and whenever I go there, I find myself writing songs about it.

People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.

I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.

I liked the idea of writing a song saying I'm happy with who I am, and I don't mind if people think I'm some old git.

You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.

I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"
