Ed Sheeran.

It Was My Love for the Guitar That First Got Me into Music and Singing.

My Love Songs Are Very Personal and Quite Weird. They Don’t Really Have the Big Radio Hit Choruses Because Basically They’re My Therapy, Stuff I Have to Get off My Chest.

I Was on Some TV Shows with Lady Gaga the Other Week, and You Could See the Difference in Reaction Between Her Fans and My Fans Outside. She Comes Out, and She Looks Like a Star, and the Reaction Is Just Tears, Crying, People Going, ‘Oh My God, Oh My God.’ My Fans Are Like: ‘Alright, Ed.’

I Saw Damien Rice in Dublin When I Was 13, and That Inspired Me to Want to Pursue Being a Songwriter… I Practised Relentlessly and Started Recording My Own EPs. at 16, I Moved to London and Played Any Gigs I Could, Selling CDs from My Rucksack to Fund Recording the Next, and It Snowballed from There.

Nashville Is Wicked. It’s Like a Proper Music Community, but It’s Also Quintessentially American. You Bump into People There with Cowboy Hats That Spit in Jars and Call You ‘Boy.’ I Just Love That.

It Was My Love for the Guitar That First Got Me into Music and Singing. Growing Up, I Was Inspired by the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice Was a Huge Influence for Me Musically.

Whenever You Have an Ex, and They’re Like, ‘I Hope We Can Still Be Friends!’ and You Weren’t Friends Before You Started Dating, Then What Do You Go Back To, Really?

I Personally Don’t Think Ginger Men Have a Habit of Being Attractive. We Have to Make Ourselves Seem Attractive by Doing Stuff.

Some of My Tattoos Are a Bit Silly, but I Know Where and What Time I Got Them.

I’m Quite Arty. I Didn’t Know Whether to Become an Artist or Musician but I Realised I Could Paint with Music. All My Songs Have Colours.

I Met Bill Clinton; He’s a Very Nice Guy. Yeah, Bill Clinton’s Cool.

I’ve Always Been a Massive Fan of John Mayer. I Think He’s Very Talented.

I Want to Have a Career That Evolves as I Go On.

The Best Thing About Being on the Road in General Is Just Playing Every Single Night in Front of People That Are Genuinely Fans of Your Music.

‘Kiss Me.’ That’s My ‘Twilight’ Tune, a Song You’d Have on the ‘Twilight’ Soundtrack.

If I Can Put on My Album in a Car or on My Headphones and Listen to the Whole Thing and Love It, That’s What I’m Going to Be Happy Putting Out There.

The Thing That I Took Away as an Early Fan from Bob Dylan Was the Storytelling Aspects. He Can Tell Some Wicked Stories.

The Whole ‘Studly Womaniser’ Thing, I Mean, I Quite Enjoy the Title It’s Just Not Very Accurate.

Instead of Writing Songs for Girls, I Tend to Write Albums, Which I Guess Is a Bit Weird.

I Think YouTube Has Destroyed the Genre Barrier. People Can Be into Justin Bieber and Eminem at the Same Time. It’s a Good Thing.

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.

Country Music Is Some of the Best Written Music in the World, so Yeah, One Day, I Would Keep My Mind Open to Doing a Country Record.

Everyone Knows Almost Everything About Me. I Make It Very Clear That I’m Cool with People Knowing All My Personal Life Through My Songs.

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 Feel That Musicians Do It Their Own Way, Write Their Own Songs and Put on a Great Live Shows.

Harry Potter Is Awesome.

Everyone Still Thinks I’m Scottish That’s Totally Wicked.

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 Think the Music I’ve Created Is Quite Odd, and People Are Going to Start Talking About That.

The More You Write Tunes, the Better They Will Become. the More You Do Gigs, the Better You Will Become.

I’m a Huge Hip Hop Fan from Way Back in the Day.

My Parents Worked in the Art World. They Were Really Supportive of My Music in That They Allowed Me to Drop Out of School and Move Out of Our Home, Which Not Many Parents Would Do.

I Would Love to Get a Moonman! I’d Put It Next to My Other Awards. I Don’t Have a Cabinet Right Now; They’re Just Kind of All Around My Flat, One Next to the TV, One in the Bedroom. So, I’d Have to Build a Cabinet.

I’ve Never Dated Anyone in Hollywood or Anyone Famous, for That Matter. I Don’t Know That I’m Ever Gonna Write a Song That You Will Know Who It’s About.

I’d Like to Have Kids and a Wife, and You Know, Drop Them off at School and Like, Do Normal Things Rather That Constantly Being on Tour. Because I’m Young Now and I Haven’t Really Got a Social Life. This Is All I Do. It’s the Best Job in the World, but I’ll Get to the Point Where There’s More to Life Than Work.

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 I Need to Accept the Fact That I Am Where I Am Today Because Fans Have Shared My Music Illegally and Legally, but I Wouldn’t Be Here Today Without the Internet, so I Can’t Speak Out Against It.

You Can’t Call Me a Twitter Phenomenon or a YouTube One. These Things Are Useful, but So’s Hard Gigging. One Year I Did 311 Shows. I Did Six in One Night Alone.

I Get Tweets Every Single Day Going, Like, ‘I’m so Glad You Weren’t on ‘the X Factor.’

I Find the Whole Concept of Women Screaming at Me so Odd. It’s Very Flattering, but I Don’t Think I Will Ever Consider Myself to Be a Sex Symbol.
