I like having the radio on, that way you're challenged to listen to things that aren't your choice.

When you meet your idols, I'm not one of those people - like if I saw Prince on the street, I wouldn't say anything. Because I'd want him to meet me. You want to meet people on the right terms or if there's a reason for you to meet.

I didn't want to just be making music randomly and not have any direction.

I definitely don't want to appropriate... not in an 'overly PC' way though.

I feel like people are now praying for some authenticity and some human touch to music. There's no simpler outlet to that than guitar and piano.

I got into James Blake quite early, like when I was early teen, and that was really important for me.

All punk music is is rebellion, going against the grain. It takes different forms. Sometimes it's a band throwing their instruments around or making really violent and noisy sounds, but it doesn't have to take that sonic form. It can take more of an energy.

But I guess the first time I made career money was signing a publishing deal when I was still at uni. That was when I waited to tell my mum that I was dropping out, which was half-way through my first year.

When I was growing up in the early noughties, I remember the time being very serene, peaceful and innocent. But actually there was Tony Blair's oil wars going on halfway across the world.

I think there's a huge pivot in popular music, and just in culture in general, towards art that is vulnerable and emotionally honest.
