I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.

I don't think I picked up the guitar in the first place as a way of getting women. There are probably better ways of doing it.

I sing like a girl.

I don't agree with superstitious routines, but there are a couple of things I'll always do before performing. I'll get together with the band and chill out, and then, just before I go on stage, I'll always check my flies.

I try to tell one lie in every interview. It keeps people I know amused when they read the article.

I never really set out to do anything in the charts with music. It came as a total surprise that I did, and it's fun.

We are in the entertainment business. This should be fun. We are musicians; we don't save lives. We shouldn't... we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously or be revered that much.

I haven't had the difficulties in my life that other people have had. I didn't have an unhappy childhood.

I love hamburgers, but if you give me a hamburger for every meal, I'm gonna tire of it.

I was an eBay addict before my first album hit big. I wanted to go on this tour of the world, so I started selling everything on eBay.

I think I was lucky to be a little older when I became famous. But still, the shock of the world starting to treat you in a weird way... I had come from the army, where we had to deal with life or death, and suddenly, people were asking whether you were cool or not. I have never cared about whether I'm cool.

The weird thing about the subway is no one looks at each other. So I play the O2 in London. It's a 20,000 capacity venue, and then I'll take the subway to my gig, and everyone's going to my gig, and no one looks at you. If anyone does, they say, 'Hey, you look exactly like James Blunt, only smaller.'

I do have a ski lift named after me in Sweden... It's an honour. I got to smash a bottle against the first pillar and say, 'I name this chairlift James Blunt. God bless her and all who rides me.'

I think it's always worth remembering that people sending off mean tweets are probably pretty lonely people.

I am a troll. And do you know what? I really don't like social media apart from that aspect of it. Posting pictures of me doing this or that is really boring, but I enjoy engaging with people. I tell them it's just a laugh and to stay in touch if you're getting any grief. They're just opinions.

I probably deserve a bit of a kicking. And having been to boarding school, I've learnt to enjoy a good beating.

Touring is the best invention of all time, so if I have to suffer a little bit of payback for having all this fun, then so be it.

I'm self-deprecating because I'm British, and that's what we're supposed to be. I'm sure if I was American, I'd tell you how great I was.

Carrie Fisher was the most remarkable person I've ever known. I made my first three albums in her house. 'Goodbye My Lover' was recorded in her bathroom. My life will not be nearly as much fun now she's gone.
