I grew up in the suburbs of a small town on the south coast where the only opportunity I ever got to wear anything smart was a funeral, so I had never owned a piece of clothing worth more than ?40.

The dominant male is history. Could you see a male Lady Gaga? The closest we've got is Justin Bieber, who'd be locked up if he tried the stuff Gaga gets away with. Women are the only rock stars now. Adele is brutally honest. I want to be like her.

The strongest feelings I've had in my life are when love has gone right and when love has gone bad. And I think strong feelings make good songs.

I'm a big Arcade Fire fan. I love the way they make records - 'Funeral' being my favorite.

I genuinely find the most meaningful thing I do is to make music, but also to absorb some sort of creativity.

I tend to write and record things quite quickly. You can tamper with things for years, and it's artistic laziness sometimes.

Every musician writes about past relationships. And other than that, I can promise you, I have very little in common with Taylor Swift.

I find myself more affected by music the more I do it. Particularly when you're touring, and you're in the bus, and you're listening to loads of music. Life becomes far more dramatic, I guess - you're never in the same place; you're constantly meeting new people. You almost become more sensitized to music.

I don't think I'll ever be able to grow a beard.

I'm not saying you have to be totally despondent or anything, but... in New York, it's cold sometimes; it rains sometimes; even if everything in your life is great, bad weather can set the mood. You can write songs in New York because it's not always perfect. To write a good song, things can't be perfect.
