My first Top of the Pops I didn’t want to do. I was terrified. I’d never done television before. Seeing the video afterwards was like watching myself die.

I could find faults with all my albums because that’s just a part of being an artist – it’s hard being a human being, isn’t it?

The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director’s Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.
