“I just love coming home; I love the U.K. I love dotting around, walkin...” — Sam Ryder Quote

I just love coming home; I love the U.K. I love dotting around, walking, and going surfing, but the U.K. is magic.

The staff at Buckingham Palace are amazing. They are so quintessentially British in their comedy. Like sort of going 'Welcome to the big house, mate!' and stuff like that. They just make it so amazing.

It was incredible, and it was so inspiring to get the encouragement from the royal family because they stand for such similar themes that Eurovision celebrates as well, like unity, togetherness, and solidarity.

None of us knew what Eurovision would be, we went there to do something for the love of Eurovision with no expectation of where we'd come, because that would be foolish for a U.K. entrant to ever imagine that they could go in and have the results that myself and the team had, but it was just for fun.

There's nothing like coming home here, having the day off or morning off and going surfing. In Orlando I don't know what I would do.

Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.

I'm really proud of 'Coming Home.' I wrote that about Eric, and I just feel like it's very relatable for anyone who has to be away from their loved ones, you know, for long periods of time - our military, people who are working. It's pretty special.
