I tweeted that I wanted Little Mix's 'Touch' played at my funeral - I think that'd be a great song to send me into the abyss.
For me, there's bands like Frightened Rabbit and The View, and they've all had that Scottish accent. It's just class to hear it.
My mum and dad have made Twitter accounts, and they will send me links if there is a bad review and tell me they'll find out where the reviewer lives.
If you take yourself too seriously, something like a bad review could put you off your stride.
I think you just have to be yourself instead of catering your sound to a specific audience, make the music you want to make, and the audience will find you.
I don't blame people or 'pop stars' or whatever for being so quiet, but you can't take it too seriously, especially on social media. It's a very hard thing to be yourself, especially when people are watching, so I don't blame them for being a bit reserved.
My star will probably continue to rise, and I will start hanging out with Beyonce and Jay-Z and take them to a Toby Carvery.
When I was 13, I went on 'Britain's Got Talent.' I auditioned. I sang a cover of a song called 'White Blank Page' by Mumford & Sons.
I love playing live; that's the main thing. But I hate being in the studio. It's the most boring thing ever.
It's the actual recording of the vocal that is the most boring thing you'll ever do in your life.
I think my best songs come from me sitting at a piano, bashing my head against a brick wall for hours and hours on end to get one good melody.
I had gigged so much from the age of 11 to 20 that I got to a stage where I actually got less nervous the bigger the gig. But you need those butterflies: they make you feel alive.
People like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding - I do not put myself in that category.
I'd be up for the 'Bond' theme, and I'd put my name forward for the lead role. If they want a wee, chubby guy from Scotland, then I'm their man.
Why would you want a picture with a wee, chubby guy from Bathgate? I just don't understand my appeal.
I'm just a wee, chubby boy that happens to sing songs.
I remember hearing people like Joe Cocker, Fleetwood Mac, and Elvis. My parents were big fans of them, and they were the early seeds. My brother was more into Slipknot, and I still listen to them, too, but it wasn't until I listened to Paolo Nutini that it really clicked.
Whether it's a song that might deviate from an artists' usual sound or even if it's still very much in their world, I think the more people opening themselves up creatively to collaborate with others, the better.
I used to do covers gigs that would be 90 minutes, with a 30 minute break, then another 90.
I have been gigging around Glasgow and Edinburgh since I was 12. I played in pubs at that age, even though I obviously was too young to be in them. So I used to hide in bathrooms, come out and play my set, then get the hell out as quickly as possible.
