• I'm a songwriter but she <nowiki>[</nowiki>Katie Melua<nowiki>]</nowiki> has her songs written for her... She must think it's her fucking lucky day... It's not like she's singing old songs like Jamie <nowiki>[</nowiki>Cullum<nowiki>]</nowiki>, she's singing shit new songs that her manager writes for her.

• It's not important to me to make other people at ease. I am difficult, but that's 'cause I don’t really give a fuck.

• I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

• I know there are people in the world who have worse problems than falling in love and having it blow up in your face, but I didn't want to just wake up drinking, and crying, and listening to the Shangri-Las, and go to sleep, and wake up drinking, and listening to the Shangri-Las. So I turned it into songs, and that's how I got through it.

• Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

• Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can't control or change.
