I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point.
And I know these scars will bleed, but both of our hearts believe all of these stars will guide us home
It's cool. One of the dudes who I made my album with who I'm a very good friend of for quite a while, I lived on his sofa for a while. And he's a professional guitar player, and he played for One Direction. And so I'd wake up on a sofa sometimes with Harry from One Direction on the other sofa, and I'd kind of be like 'you alright?'
The public has heard the stereotypical love songs a million times, and they've heard the stereotypical life-or-death songs millions of times. It's good to mix it up a little bit.
My uncle always said, ‘Hurry slowly.’ I guess [it means] have the intensity of love but don’t rush into it. Have the full feeling but take it slow. Ease into it.
I don't ever want to be perfect, Cause I'm a singer that you Never want to see shirtless
If love what you can't have, then you have to love what you've got
I wanna be drunk when I wake up, on the right side of the wrong bed.
Without you to hold i'll be freezing.
I know you'll never love me like you used to.
As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.
I kind of like the way that I came up as an artist. I like experimenting.

With music, you could stick someone with a musical instrument or even not a musical instrument, get them to showcase their talent, and within 30 seconds you could tell whether they were good or not, but with acting you have to give them the right part.
