“I try and write honestly about what I see around me now.”

“I'm trying to make a case for those people who don't have a sense of belonging that they should have, that there is something really worthwhile in having a sense of belonging, and recasting and looking at our modern history.”

“What you're doing is acting with yourself. Well, I'm my favourite actor, so in a way it's quite straightforward for me.”

“I mix different subjects in one song - family, relationships, politics - it's never straightforward.”

“I am a straightforward man.”
