- Nov 07, 2020
I'm in a difficult position in the sense that, preposterous as this might sound, I don't like being the centre of attention. I get up on stage every night and play songs, but I almost feel the songs are the centre of attention. I don't like opening my birthday presents in front of people, either.
- Confines

You don't meet that many people that you can talk about Roots Manuva with, but that was my favorite in school, this record of his called 'Run Come Save Me.' When I first started writing lyrics, it came from that.
- Fooling

- Nov 07, 2020
I can be a woodsman if need be. I grew up very close to some forest, and I spent a lot of my formative years up and down trees, fooling around in the woods. I'm no stranger to that sort of landscape.
- Calm

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not even sure where home is. Probably Terminal 5. There is a strange sense of calm about arriving back at Heathrow.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
'Hatful of Hollow' and 'The Smiths' were lent to me, and they made me want to create music that might make another person feel like they made me feel - to have an effect on someone.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Songwriters always reminded me of that kid at school who would go around with his guitar, like, 'Yeah, songwritin' man,' looking wistful. That wasn't me - those kinds of people put me off. In the early days, I'd write a bunch of lyrics and almost look at them as a sort of joke, to make the rest of the boys laugh.
- Honest
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not really one for collaborations, to be quite honest.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't draw. I'm good on the yo-yo, but I don't draw.
- Ben
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm like the Ben Affleck of crowd surfing.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Guitar music or rock n' roll or whatever you want to call it sort of goes away with trends, but it'll never go away completely. It can't die because it's so fundamentally attractive.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know my lyrics might be weird to some, but they're not like that to me because I know where they come from - I know the secret.
- Humor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Someone asked me what the key to being a good frontman was, and I think having a sense of humor about it is pretty near the top of that list. It's a very strange place to be in, and I don't take that role too seriously.
- Freer
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think New York is a good place to write in general because it's a grid. It's organized. You know where you are on the map. That centers you, and your imagination is perhaps freer to roam.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I usually sit around with the guitar in reach and grab it when I get an idea. Sometimes it lasts five minutes, and sometimes it lasts all day.
- Fool
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am a romantic fool, no doubt about that.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a very unnatural environment to be in, up on a stage. So you put up defenses to hide. Like looking at the ground with your hair in your eyes, or being tightly wound and quite aggressive and uncooperative, as I used to do.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first time I went to New York, it was really exciting, and I thought, given half the chance, it would be nice to live there - the same with London.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get nervous about gigs sometimes, but not with records - I always get excited.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's something to be said for writing in the morning. At other points in the day, you're a bit more defensive.
