I think anyone can do anything they dream of if they put their mind to it and put in the work.
I'm not just writing songs that are narrating my life, but everyone else around my age because they're super-relatable.
John Mayer would be my ultimate collaboration because he's just the man. He has basically captured all I believe in with music.
Just the fact that a thousand people in front of me were ready to hear me sing was one of the best feelings I can think of.
I really love listening to Hozier. He's great.
I work so hard to make that sure I'm successful. If you're positive and really excited and enthusiastic about what you're doing, it's going to happen, and it's going to happen big time.
'Mercy,' I love conceptually because I feel like you can either think about it as if it were a girl - which it sounds like it could be about a girl - but I like to picture it as 'pleading for mercy for my career' type of thing.
It's hard for me to just say, 'Wow, this is amazing - I'm famous. I'm living the dream.' I sit there and think, 'I'm scared - this can go away tomorrow.' My dad always says that I'm a tortured soul because I'm never pleased; I never feel like I deserve what I've achieved.
Absolutely, I never stop working on new music.
I picture myself now, and I picture myself in 30 years, and I'll probably be the same. I'll still think I'm not the greatest singer I can be.
Ed Sheeran wrote his songs, so I wanted to write my own songs.
I'm tortured because I care. I'm always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.
What I love about my fragrance Signature is that it's subtle and great to wear for any person at any time.
Being a sex symbol isn't cool unless you're in love with a girl, and she calls you a sex symbol.
I felt like there were so many talented people who should be getting what I have.
I love acting. I would really love to act.
I have songs about growing up, about ex-relationships - ex-relationship, I should say.
It was incredible being on tour with Taylor Swift: she was the epitome of a professional, and she works so hard. For someone as successful as her to work that hard every night - truly inspirational.
When I first started playing guitar, so many people told me I couldn't do this or couldn't do that. But I kept at it and ignored that.
I have a thing where if I'm not in control, I feel the whole world is about to collapse.
I think, as a musician and person, Justin Timberlake is someone I've always looked up to.
I would type in things like, 'How to play beginner songs on guitar,' and one of the first I learnt was 'Hey, Soul Sister' by Train. I taught myself these chords I didn't know the name of and slowly started to get the hang. I was obsessed with it.
Sometimes when the song is right for that time period, it's just kinda bad to let it wait, and then when you do release it eight months down the road, it's not the same.
First of all, I'm not gay. Second of all, it shouldn't make a difference if I was or if I wasn't.
There's a lot more to success than just singing.
I love Australia; it was a really, really nice experience for me. It's such a beautiful place. The people are beautiful - like, really beautiful - and they are beautiful in terms of their personalities. It's a great place to be. It's like you are in a little bit of a dream world.
I'm all over the place with muffins. Carrots are great. Banana, chocolate chip, they rock, too.
Did people care about how a singer sounded live back in the day? I don't really feel like they did. Not everything was being filmed. Today, one huge mess-up, and millions are seeing it. There's a lot more on the line nowadays. We're so cautious and scared of messing up. It adds a lot of stress to a career.
The focus should be on the music and not my sexuality.
I've watched pretty much every Ed Sheeran video on You Tube that is possible to watch.
People made fun of my skinny legs.
People say to me, 'What are you going to be doing in five years?' The thing is, I don't care! It's what I'm doing today that matters.
I like dancers. I have a thing for girls who dance.
You just have to play it cool. You don't want everyone to know you're an amateur.
