We're in the age of the selfie. It's just encouraging vanity. It's not even representative of anything except how you want people to perceive you. Think of when people are partying and having fun. They're like, "Hey, look at us!" You're obviously not having that much fun because otherwise you wouldn't be stopping to document it. It's stupid.
I never go out to be photographed, never. I go to events because they're fun.
Cheryl Cole, if you're reading this, I may not be as prety as you but at least I write my own songs.
I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem. But we never hear that side of the story.
People in this day and age are still under the illusion that every woman who is successful must be being controlled by a man... I'm the boss.
In no way do I feel superior to anyone except paedophiles, rapists, murderers, etc.
I don't like being put in the same category as people because we have the same genitals and boobs. Nobody is going to write "Lily Allen vs. Ed Sheeran." It just doesn't happen.
I quite fancy Graham Coxon. I haven't met him yet, though. I'd like to.
If you can't detect the sarcasm you've misunderstood.
Perez Hilton is an irritating wasp in the beautiful rose garden that is my life.
All of my songs are about me and my experiences. They're very literal.
I'm opinionated, but I'm not a vindictive person and I never say anything unprovoked, either.
I was a drug dealer in Ibiza at 15. I did not excel in drug dealing - I was terrible at it. Golden rule with drug dealing - don't get too enthusiastic with your own merchandise.
I'm a record collector. I'd spend all my pocket money on vinyl.
