“I've always been an artist that has had a problem with genres, staying in the box, and being told what I had to be.”

“Most times, lyrics are the last thing I listen to, being a musician.”

“I use Facebook, but I find that I'm... if I put up a picture of my dog there or a sunset or something, I get a million hits. If I mention anything to do with my career, three people respond. And/or if I say anything political, I have to duck afterwards. I try to be selective.”

“I think every ounce of pain in just living always ends up being the best thing that happened to me. It's always a growth period. I learn at the speed of pain.”

“I know that things change and markets change. Those are the realities of the business.”

“I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.”

“It is well-documented that Bournemouth like to play football. I think I can give them a slightly different dimension when the ball goes into the box.”
