I'd love to write a country album with Adele.

Every band I've come across has read more than I have.

When you write a song it's sometimes in a desperate moment whn you can't really articulate it. What I love about lyrics is what T.S. Eliot said: 'Good poetry is felt before it is heard.' I'm a believer in that. It's those moments when you sit yourself down, and talk to yourself in the mirror.

I approach my life haphazardly. Not much holiness and only as much wisdom as I can muster.

Love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free/to be more like the man you were made to be

I'm very English, and we don't talk about emotions publicly.
