There are many things people don't know about me, and maybe when they read about those things, they will have an understanding of the journey I have been on, why I've made the mistakes I have, and hopefully help other people overcome their adversities.

Anxiety is a really crippling condition, and I suffer with it myself, and I feel for anyone who suffers from it. The way that I deal with it is try as much as possible to stay in the moment to not think about the past and not think about what's coming up in the future: to try and just seize the moment as much as possible.

I think Sam Smith's dad got a huge loan or something to help his career. Those things can help artists get attention, but I guess my song 'Say You Won't Let Go' proved it's about the song.

I'm just achieving goals left, right and centre, and I just feel incredibly lucky because I never thought it would happen.

As someone who comes from a family of lifers (along with my wife), I just want to say, flat out... Marriage is a really good deal.

No candidate can win a presidential race advocating gay marriage and opposing the military action in Iraq.

I'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.

I'm not really the type to wear my heart on my sleeve. I would let someone know if I liked them, but it takes a while for me to fall in love.
