Everyone still thinks I’m Scottish – that’s totally wicked.
People fall in love in mysterious ways. Maybe it’s all part of a plan...
And I know these scars will bleed, but both of our hearts believe all of these stars will guide us home.
I’ve never really been a confident person, except from a musical standpoint. I had to push myself early on, but it got easier with each gig.
I think encouraging young people to twerk might be a bad thing. It’s a stripper’s move. If I had a daughter of nine, I wouldn’t want her twerking.
I met Bill Clinton; he’s a very nice guy. Yeah, Bill Clinton’s cool.
The whole ‘studly womaniser’ thing, I mean, I quite enjoy the title – it’s just not very accurate.
A sense of humor is an important thing to have because when you get into an argument, one of the best ways to diffuse it is to be funny.
I think if you have someone without a sense of humor, you’re less likely to be together.
Be yourself. Embrace your quirks.
I used to get drunk in venues after my shows and sign the walls “Ed was here.” So if you see that, it was me.
I really don’t know what’s good or bad art because all the art I like people tell me is tasteless.
I think the moment you start trying to please a fan base is when you start going downhill. I’m going to always, always write about what I want, even if it doesn’t necessarily cater to most of them.
I’ve been feeling everything. From hate to love. From love to lust. From lust to truth. I guess that’s how I know you.
For me, Spotify is not even a necessary evil. It helps me do what I want to do.
No one else is going to do it for you. If you want it bad enough, then go out and do it yourself.
I don’t think that there’s much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists.
I kind of like the way that I came up as an artist. I like experimenting.
I would say, you can never do enough gigs and you can never do enough songs. Make sure that every opportunity you can, play a show and every opportunity you can, write a song.
The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become. It’s just kind of like the facts of life; the practice makes perfect thing. Keep your fingers crossed, start from the bottom and work your way up.
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.
