[on being nominated for a British Male Solo Artist award] It's very nice to be nominated for something you enjoy doing anyway. But awards and things like that don't hold a lot of sentimental value to me. Having something in solid form telling me I'm the best or whatever - it wouldn't change the way I pursue music or the way I make records.
The papers, you know, they're always gonna just make stuff up. They think it's in the public interest.
Obviously, with your first album, you want to make sure you are really happy with it.
Three thousand people singing back your songs is an incredible feeling.
