“Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice was a huge influence for me musically.”

If I ever have any back-up dancers, I want the penguins from Madagascar.

I think I’ve been around for a while. But I still have to pay my dues.

I’m gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house. If things go wrong we can knock it down.

Kiss me, like you wanna be loved.

Every night I’ll kiss you you’ll say in my ear, Oh we’re in love aren’t we?

How would you feel, if I told you I loved you? It’s just something that I want to do.

Music is a powerful tool in galvanizing people around an issue. There’s no better way to get your point across than to put it in a beautiful song.

Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I’m cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.

You know we are made up of love and hate but both of them are balanced on a razor blade.

I am happy on my own so here I’ll stay. Save your loving arms for a rainy day.

If someone tells you to change yourself, tell them to go fuck themselves.

And tomorrow’s a brand new day.

Pain is only relevant if it still hurts.

Some of my tattoos are a bit silly, but I know where and what time I got them.

I’m quite arty. I didn’t know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.

The main thing that you have to remember on this journey is, just be nice to everyone and always smile.
