Quotes
- “"I'm mortified to have to pay 50%! [While] I use the NHS, I can't use public transport any more. Trains are always late, most state schools are shit, and I've gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from [the album] 19, I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire."”
- “"I love seeing Lady Gaga's boobs and bum. I love seeing Katy Perry's boobs and bum. Love it. But that's not what my music is about. I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears."”
- “"I don't really need to stand out, there's room for everyone. Although I haven't built a niche yet, I'm just writing love songs."”
- “"I don't have any plans for new music, at all, I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while."”
- “"I don't like being famous. I love that I get to make music all the time."”
- “"I have to wait for a feeling."”
