I try not to brand myself 'weird' any more because it sticks.

I feel curious about every situation I'm in.

I travel regularly and have learnt to be very methodical as far as packing is concerned. For example, I always check the weather in advance of where I'm going to ensure that I've packed the right clothes.

I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.

Adele's like a beacon of honesty. Doesn't compromise, goes to America and she's still the same sweary cockney.

I love Andre 3000 from OutKast. I think we'd complement each other, but I'm hoping he's got a good sense of humour.

I think soul is soul. I don't see new soul as any different to old soul.
