A lot of the time it feels like… music is some sort of excuse to be a human. It’s kind of like people need that excuse to go and put their arms in the air and sing their hearts out.

I don't even call myself a Christian.

It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs.

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

A lot of the time writers are just sponges... for what's around them, and so books are helpful for focusing your mind and literally putting it into words.

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

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
