I think the word 'twink' is pejorative. There's something endemic about the gay community where we praise masculinity more than anything else.
My lyrics are about same-sex relationships, because that's who I am. It was important to me that I felt comfortable expressing myself.
I think the reason I've been so committed to advocacy is because I see so many people in pain.
I love being alone.
My mum's super Labour, and my gran. We all love Jeremy Corbyn in the family. Those are very deep roots and I feel like I could never not vote for Labour. Or I could never vote for the Tories because of that.
When I was younger I thought that if you were famous and successful, it would mean that you just felt happy all the time. That you would become, like, this mystical creature that people just adored. And so you would adore yourself.
What's great about being gay is that you can celebrate all types of sexualities, because we understand that being queer means you might also be gender nonconforming or bi or whatever.
We are traumatized by growing up in a world that doesn't really accept us. Obviously, we've made great leaps and bounds, but I think there's a tendency to force a narrative onto queer people that once you come out... you have to be really happy and really successful and proud all the time.
The first artist I really loved was Stevie Wonder. That opened the doors to other soul singers like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin.
I think music can be therapeutic and a really positive thing, but that seeing a therapist is the best form of therapy you can get.
You can't have a nuanced debate on Twitter, it's just people shouting.
I just listen to true-crime podcasts, do some weights and pretend I know what I'm doing.
I get trolled. The usual stuff - sometimes it's homophobic, like gay hate.
I was a fan of Belle and Sebastian. I didn't really know a lot of their music - I only knew the kind of bigger songs because I had a friend, when I was younger, who was really into them. But I have always really respected Belle and Sebastian for what they are, what they do. Yeah, they're just great.
If you're making something tangible, whether it's clothing, a song, a piece of art... when you create something that's outside of yourself you take a bit of the pain and it's released, you let it out a little bit. That's my Oprah Winfrey moment.
Well, I moved around quite a lot so I was born in Yorkshire and then I moved to Blackpool, which is like North England.
Let's let our men be happy, be sad, be trans, be questioning, be bisexual, be non-conforming, be feminine, be masculine!
Justin Tranter is an incredible queer voice in pop music and he's writing for Justin Bieber: it's genius.
School was like a hostile place. I just hated being at school. I think some people really thrive in that environment. I was a good student, but I just didn't enjoy school. I found it really tough.
I've been writing a lot of songs about my personal life and identity. That can be a real healing process.
