I've always been the sort of person who immerses myself in things, and eventually you become part of that life.

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

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.

I was very much a mess, as a person. I'd come from a very turbulent teenage life, with parents who had broken up in a very bad way, and a lot of illness at school.

I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

There's no such thing as 'I can't do it'.
