I think the moment you start trying to please a fan base is when you start going downhill. I'm going to always, always write about what I want, even if it doesn't necessarily cater to most of them.
Everyone still thinks I'm Scottish - that's totally wicked.
I don't think that there's much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists.
I think encouraging young people to twerk might be a bad thing. It's a stripper's move. If I had a daughter of nine, I wouldn't want her twerking.
I find the whole concept of women screaming at me so odd. It's very flattering, but I don't think I will ever consider myself to be a sex symbol.
I've had years of teasing about my red hair, but I definitely think it toughened me up. If you're ginger, you end up pretty quick-witted.
I think I've been around for a while. But I still have to pay my dues.
I think to be successful at anything you have to put in a hell of a lot of effort. Pick your battles. I picked music, put in a lot of effort, and it's worked.
I don't kind of want to be known as a one-trick pony who just does the adult-alternative song once a year that makes it onto the radio and people sort of think it's nice.
I want to make the songs good. I think this is my main focus.
I think if you have someone without a sense of humor, you're less likely to be together.
I think YouTube has destroyed the genre barrier. People can be into Justin Bieber and Eminem at the same time. It's a good thing.
I personally don't think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff.
