I just want my music to be put out there, not shoved in peoples faces. I want to keep it relaxed.

I walked past Noel Gallagher on the street once and everyone was like, "Go speak to him! He's one of your heroes!" I thought I'd leave him. I don't know what I'd say to him.

When you write a song, there's no point keeping it to yourself.

I think drama school really teaches you how to annunciate; you're conscious that people might not understand you if you speak too fast and too Welsh.

I’m still secretly a bit of a punk. Love The Clash and a bit of the Pistols. I guess as I’ve got older I’ve chilled out a bit. But, my teenage angst is still stirring somewhere!

The music is mine. Theres nothing to hide behind. Thats where you see the real person.

It's a weird thing with accents. When I go home it gets a lot stronger, when I've had a few beers it gets a lot stronger.

He who prays five times a day is in the protection of God, and he who is protected by God cannot be harmed by anyone.

The real thing creates its own poetry.

I hate the idea of always having to interpret other people's ideas and thoughts and words, because I'm very independent and, I guess, a free thinker.

Are you nervous about no longer being a big fish in a small pond?

Dada cannot live in New York. All New York is dada, and will not tolerate a rival.

I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.

I want to be able to make people laugh and cry and feel happy or sad and feel all these different emotions through singing and acting. Hopefully throughout my career, I'll get to pursue them.
