I started to learn some common sense. Even just sort of day-to-day things. I started to cook a little bit more and try to learn to fix things around the house. If something breaks down, rather than call a guy, there's got to be more I can do.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
A lot of places think that bigger is better. It's like consumerism is taking everything over.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I thought about going onto the first one, Pop Idol. My mum was saying, 'Go on!' But I decided not to. 'The X Factor,' though, doesn't really seem to be a show about musical talent anymore.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
The people I admire are Tim Buckley and John Martyn - singers that grew into themselves and were honest. John Martyn is one of the great soul singers because soul is not a genre; it's a feeling.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
With the first album, there was a lot of angst. I was very naive. I thought I was on top of the whole thing, but I really didn't know what I was getting into.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I only became interested in clothes when I was in my mid-teens. I'd do things like spike my hair and put on a nice shirt, but I'd hardly call myself fashion-conscious. I just don't have the energy.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
Maybe it's the way that I do music, but I was never in a cool indie band or hung out with all the cool arty kids when I came to London.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
That's the good thing about music: you can sing about people's lives in its stages and feelings. Some songs can put something in context that you couldn't. They can free your mind or can make you think or can be redeeming.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I think it was definitely a love for the four- or five-part vocal male harmony groups that really took me away. I'd always try and be, like, the fifth Drifter; I'd always try and find another harmony that wasn't there.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
You don't want to go and make something, then go out and do shows, if you're not really into it. You don't want to go out there and make people feel like you're grudging playing them a song. That's a disturbing thought.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
Sometimes people don't know what is behind the words they use. But an innocent little remark at school can affect you later in life.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I get nervous all the time. Both on and off stage. You just hope it turns into adrenaline.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I'm neither here nor there about this Lady Gaga, but she's clearly very passionate about her poker face.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I've met such amazing people in their 40s, in their 60s, 70s, and they completely bely their age on paper.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
When it comes to the business side of it, as much as you might hate it, the reality is that you give the record company a sort of ownership of your songs, so you've got to make sure you're getting everything you can out of it now, because if you're not, then who is?
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I'm not seeking for answers; I just want to tell stories and state my opinion.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I don't mind being criticised, but hearing yourself described as the next James Blunt - that hurts.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
People make you feel like a bad guy for asking for seven quid for your album, like you are slapping them in the face, when they'll go and pay two grand for a scarf somebody knitted in a sweat shop and stitched a designer label on.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I write on the acoustic guitar, I write some on the piano, but I've been messing around with these guitar pedals and drum machines, educating myself in that world.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I don't want to slip into Johnny Borrell mode. I don't want to be singing that there's nothing on TV, nothing on the radio.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I left school just shy of 17: I'd started going into touring and that situation.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
Racism is one of the worst forms of torture because it's directed at something you never asked for and something you can't change.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
When you open your mind up, and you go into a creative state, you can't just switch if off. When you have an idea, a creative impulse, and then you ignore it, it can keep you up when you just want to go to your bed - which is why it's great to have voice recorders on your phone!
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I like to record something pretty much as soon as I have an idea for a song, but I'm on so many buses, I have to record on my mobile.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I remember I wanted to be Zorro, but I also wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I obviously had ideas above my station.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I'm in the highest bracket. There's no way that a 22-year-old should be hit for that amount of money when he's got his whole life ahead of him.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
Just remember that if you've lost something, you will be open to something else.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
Politicians have an arrogance that I just do not understand. I've seen more constructive debates in high school.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
To sing with Led Zeppelin has allowed me to offer the best places I could afford to my family and friends!
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
I'm not one to go down that road to say I have some kind of social consciousness.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
The songs are just an attempt to document what's been happening in my life. If people can relate to what's going on with me, then that's great.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
One of my ambitions is to move to Tuscany. I like the idea of getting a vineyard. I love being under the sun and being casual and comfortable. That's my idea of heaven.
Quote by -Paolo Nutini
It's not about someone making a difference on their own; it's about everybody pulling together to make a difference.
