The public has heard the stereotypical love songs a million times, and they've heard the stereotypical life-or-death songs millions of times. It's good to mix it up a little bit.
My uncle always said, ‘Hurry slowly.’ I guess [it means] have the intensity of love but don’t rush into it. Have the full feeling but take it slow. Ease into it.
I don't ever want to be perfect, Cause I'm a singer that you Never want to see shirtless
If love what you can't have, then you have to love what you've got
If I ever have any back-up dancers, I want the penguins from Madagascar.
Everyone still thinks I'm Scottish - that's totally wicked.
I don't know if my songs fit in films.
I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point.
Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice was a huge influence for me musically.
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.
Country music is some of the best-written music in the world, so yeah, one day, I would keep my mind open to doing a country record.
I've been feeling everything. From hate to love. From love to lust. From lust to truth. I guess that's how I know you.
I would say, you can never do enough gigs and you can never do enough songs. Make sure that every opportunity you can, play a show and every opportunity you can, write a song.
I kind of like the way that I came up as an artist. I like experimenting.
