“I want to sell out arenas and make an album and work with some of the best artists in the world.”

I get really nervous if pigeons are flying around before shows. I can’t stand them after one once flew in through my bathroom window and went for me while I was having a wee. That was enough. I think pigeons target me.

I don’t know, it’s odd that girls ask if they can hug me. Don’t ask, do it. I’m just a regular guy.

My accent always works with girls. They like it, I have no idea why.

I’ve got my old favorites like The Eagles and Bon Jovi.

Someone told me the smile on my face gets bigger when I play the guitar.

Simon Cowell is tight. That’s why he’s so successful – he’s able to keep his money to himself.

Every now and then you have like a realization moment where you get goosebumps and think, “I am literally the luckiest person in the world.

Frankly, I don’t care what others say.

I hate it when girls act stupid ’cause they think it’s cute. Intelligence is sexy.

I wonder if anyone thinks of me when they can’t fall asleep at night.

I’ve not actually been on too many dates.

I like anything that’s edible.

When I have time off, all I want to do is do nothing.

I love with the heart not the eyes.

I just want to say I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world and every time I come back to Manchester I’m addicted to this place.

I’ll always defend the people I Love.

All the albums that I grew up listening to were produced by one person.

I wanted to make an album that melodically people can connect to; something that reflects our times and the kinds of difficulties we face.

I’m not the ‘rappity-rapper’ type dude. All my music is really true. I can’t just rap about nothing, just metaphors and putting words together. I can’t just smash out material like other guys. I just want my albums to be crazy every time I drop one.

I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.

I just really want to make albums – and however I can, I will.

All my albums always go with the times.

To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.

I think thats what most of us rappers do too often. We put too much information in some of our albums that could actually be on the next ones.
