People who aren't artists don't think about creativity and art; they think about money.
Quote by -James Arthur
I have people telling me what I can and can't do, what music I can and can't make.
Quote by -James Arthur
I want to put out music I really believe in, and when I felt that was threatened, I lashed out at everybody.
Quote by -James Arthur
I don't have anything against SyCo or 'X Factor' or any of that. I'm just a guy who got really afraid of not being in control.
Quote by -James Arthur
I'm 100 million percent not homophobic. I despise that label being attached to me.
Quote by -James Arthur
All my confidence has disappeared because the whole nation thinks I'm a homophobe who looks like a monster.
Quote by -James Arthur
I had a style before I was signed, but now I'm developing my commercial sound as well as trying to strike a balance between authentic music and music that the masses will love.
Quote by -James Arthur
I want to become a Hollywood film star. I genuinely would love to be in some movies.
Quote by -James Arthur
Being in bands and plugging away with not many opportunities and no money for many years really shaped me and taught me about work ethic.
Quote by -James Arthur
I often think about starting a band again, doing my solo stuff and a band. I grew up in bands.
Quote by -James Arthur
People had told me to try 'The X Factor' for years, but I thought I'd be moody and hate it all. But it's what I needed. I asked Mum and Dad to come to my 'X Factor' audition, and it was the first time that they'd been in the same room in years.
Quote by -James Arthur
I'd like to think that maybe the average person is rational, and they realise that I'm not this crazy monster that, at times, I've been perceived to be.
Quote by -James Arthur
Kurt Cobain is one of the reasons I started doing music because I just loved to watch them rock out.
Quote by -James Arthur
Having watched 'X Factor' over the years, they just haven't got it right. The male winners haven't been believable. They look like puppets; they sound like puppets.
Quote by -James Arthur
There is a lot of pressure on pop stars, and I think a lot of it is the pressure that we put on ourselves. In our minds, we build up these huge, huge standards that we think people want from us, and actually, when you break it down, people just want you to make music and perform to the best of your ability, but anxiety can stop you from doing that.
Quote by -James Arthur
When you find fame, or you get signed to a record label, it's not what you imagined - because you imagined they would have 100 percent trust or faith in you as an artist. Unfortunately, that's not really the case - it's what sells.
Quote by -James Arthur
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.
Quote by -James Arthur
Romance and girls I don't talk about anymore: it's off limits. I just want to keep it private.
Quote by -James Arthur
Yes I got into things with girls who only liked me because of who I was. But I learnt my lesson quickly.
Quote by -James Arthur
Not only was I an 'X Factor' winner that got dropped by Syco - and when that happens, you're never heard of again - but everyone thought I was a clown.
Quote by -James Arthur
I have the words 'love' and 'life' on my knuckles, and I would half like those removed.
Quote by -James Arthur
I'm just achieving goals left, right and centre, and I just feel incredibly lucky because I never thought it would happen.
Quote by -James Arthur
I want to say sorry for abusing my position as an 'X Factor' winner because I owe everything to this thing.
Quote by -James Arthur
I felt like I couldn't wallow in self-pity forever. I can't beat myself up forever.
Quote by -James Arthur
When I've got a girlfriend, I like to be with them as much as possible, and I'm very affectionate.
Quote by -James Arthur
I've made mistakes, and I'm very aware of them, and I've tried to better myself from those mistakes.
Quote by -James Arthur
It's all about respect. I'm not going to treat a woman like a piece of meat.
Quote by -James Arthur
I got offered loads of reality shows, including 'I'm A Celebrity' and 'Celebrity Big Brother.'
Quote by -James Arthur
I've always maintained a good relationship with Simon Cowell, and obviously I have a great respect for him, and his show provided me with a platform to reach a lot of people, so I have the upmost respect for Simon Cowell.
Quote by -James Arthur
The thing is, I knew from the very first audition that I did not fit the classic 'X Factor' criteria.
