Townes van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.

I know I'm not the best. I'm not the best singer I'm not the best songwriter I'm not the best player.

I would love to work with Paolo Nutini because he is so soulful and an amazing songwriter.

I kicked the door open and I'm gonna hold my leg in there. I'm keeping the door open for all these amazing female singer-songwriters that are coming out.

I like singer-songwriters and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.
