I've made my music so that it could be about anything and everybody - whether it's a guy, a female or a goat - and everybody can relate to that.

I don't think about whether it's gonna be a dance record or a ballad or anything when I'm making music. I sit in the studio and I think, 'How am I feeling today?' and I write how I feel. It's really, really simple.

Anything's possible. If I turn round tomorrow and say I want to be a spaceman, I could do that. You can do whatever you want to do.

Jazz scares me. I've witnessed so many incredible singers and jazz musicians. Pop and soul music have always been the things that I felt like I could do.

I want to make the music that's not there anymore. I'm so passionate about the singing voice... What I'm trying to do actually with my album is show that it's my voice that's leading. It's my voice that's the instrument.

It's my job to have ups and downs because it makes good music.
