- "I recently spent quite a bit of time in Sheffield, England, which is where I’m from. I wouldn’t move back there, but it’s funny when you spend a bit of time in the place where you were brought up. You kind of realize how that place has had quite a big effect on you or made you a certain way."
- "I’ve always had an eye for nature, but it’s the sort of thing to keep quiet about, because I don’t want to come across as a mad hippy. But it makes sense to appreciate those things."
- "The thing with Disney songs is they’re very manipulative, very sentimental, but they do get you, you know – there’s a kind of sadness to them and that kind of music doesn’t really exist any more."
