When you start to ascertain a physique, you run that thing where you don't want to lose it. It catches you; it's like a hook.
When I started writing material, I realised you could take a ballad like Usher's 'Nice and Slow,' sing the same melody over a garage track, and everyone would be up and dancing.
You know a date's gone really well when she's happy with nothing fancier than a Big Mac and fries!
I do about two hours working out in the morning with my trainer. It's like brushing my teeth.
I aspired to playing at Glastonbury, not just the Camden Palais.
My grandmother and my mother raised me, but my dad made a conscious effort to be in my life - every weekend he would take me out.
Me and guitar music is so entwined.
I like buying people little things, not flooding them with money, trying to win them.
I bought a dodgy gold ring off a guy in Southampton. He told me to check it was real gold by heating it up with a lighter and pressing it against my skin, because real gold doesn't burn. I still have the scar on my left hand.
I wanna have a positive impact and bring in artists on the come-up. It gets me hyped!
It does feel that TS5 gave me such a new lease of life.
When I grew up, I was living on a council estate overlooking a car park for a good 16 years of my life.
I don't know if, in a previous life, I was, like, the embodiment of a guitar, because any time someone plays a guitar with the licks, I just resonate to it.
We can all accept criticism of creative work, but to be publicly ridiculed for it is incredibly difficult to deal with.
In the course of my career, which has been an incredible rollercoaster ride, I look at the journey and think it's been immense.
I'm an only child, so I got spoilt a lot. Which was a good thing.
Everything around me is surreal. I get picked up in cars and go to celebrity bashes, and I get sponsorship on clothes, and it's great, and I really enjoy it. But you should remember where it all started: the music. That's the key.
Life is all about how things rough up against you and how you see them and the vantage point you have from them.
