I really, really loved Fair Isle. I'd always wanted to go there. It's so beautiful and a very small but very international community. Every nationality that you can imagine have settled there.

The majority of the time I live out of a rucksack in some jungle or stuck up some mountain. The luxury tends to be when my wife and children are there.

Holidays are our one big family indulgence.

I'd quite like to run the Great Wall of China. I've never been to China and there's something about the Great Wall of China that is so iconic and evocative. It's only 3,000 miles. It's not that far.

I love reading. I spend a huge amount of time travelling on planes and have always got a book on the go.

I'm a bit dyslexic so I found learning to read hard. I muddled up the letters but learnt to power through.

I eventually realised you don't have to understand every single word, and that reading in your head doesn't have to be perfect. Once I took that pressure off, it gave me confidence.

Reading aloud could be humiliating, I was shy about doing it. Bear in mind I failed my English GCSE and A levels, which goes to prove that if I can embrace it, so can anyone.

I've had enough of the bleak headlines and divisive politics, dark TV dramas and hate-filled social media. I'm embracing a new movement with a slightly ridiculous name and a single mission, to make the world a better place. It's called 'hopepunk'.

Hopepunk is a spirit or a mood. It isn't an actual thing. It is a feeling. It is the Scandinavian concept of 'hygge' or 'coziness' of the mind. It is a warm, happy, charming, uplifting concept that leaves you with a fuzzy feeling in your tummy.

Hopepunk works. Try it and I guarantee you will feel better - and so will the people around you. It's positively infectious.

I'm a naturally upbeat person. Friends sometimes compare me to a labrador puppy, and I take that as a great compliment. I love life, I love people and I've got loads of energy right up to the moment when I'm suddenly asleep.

There is something very appealing about moving to a faraway place.

The reality is that my wife would be pretty upset if I went and bought a plot of land somewhere in Outer Mongolia or the Arctic Circle!

I'd love to go to a remote part of the world or maroon myself on a tropical island, and shoot the whole thing myself. I've always adventured with other people and I'd like to spend some time completely on my own.

I stayed with a family in the bush in Alaska and there were absolutely swarms of mosquitos. The crew were wearing full body nets but the family weren't, so I decided that if I was going to do things properly I wouldn't wear them either. I was eaten alive!

Lego for many parents is the antithesis of the high tech world. We are desperate to wean our little ones away from the tablets and into the bricks.

When I was a child, Lego came in brick form, you'd buy boxes of random bricks. You used your imagination and your mind in your build.

Where once Lego offered a whimsical form of escapism into the world of the subconscious, encouraging creativity and imagination, it's transformed into a rigid 'box ticking' discipline where children are encouraged to build by conformity.

Many of us will endure a lifetime following others. Institutionalisation suits many but not all. Some of us thrive beyond those boundaries.

I'm not one to complain about illness. I suppose I have a bit of a stiff upper lip. I just tend to get on with things.

I like collecting things, much to my wife's annoyance. I keep mementoes because I'm proud of all the things I've done, but also to remind myself, when I'm having a difficult time at home, that there are always tougher, harder things to get through in life.

The jungle is my least favourite environment. It's always damp, and everything tries to bite you, whether it's flora or fauna. But I think it's important to face your fears and not just go for the comfortable option.

I remembered reading about a disease called Leishmaniasis, which matched my symptoms. I'd always thought it was an old wives' tale - a sand fly bite that eats your flesh. But when I looked on the internet and saw pictures of people who had it, their lesions looked like mine.

I live in a small town so I get recognised a lot which is weird.

It's hard on the road, you don't get too much time to sit down and focus.

A lot of the bars are really nice to me now because they've heard me on the radio.

We've played all sorts of weird and wonderful places. You do all kinds of venues from heavy metal places in Germany to big ornate churches, and everything in between.

I'm one of those artists who doesn't really believe in fame. You can be a normal person these days, you don't need celebrity appeal.

There's force-feeding people synthesised music, then there's a skill in technically being able to play an instrument, even if that is some electronic pad.

I've never been a fan of all the R&B and vocoder stuff you hear on the radio.

We were selling out venues, not just in London but also major cities in France and Germany before labels had even noticed what we were doing.

I was never in music to make it to award shows.

I have a platinum-selling record but I can walk around fine.

The recording sessions for 'Noonday Dream' were so varied and over quite a period of time.

I need some time and space to make sure I'm on the right track with myself and playing music I want to play.

We spent so much time on 'Every Kingdom,' it was a real heart record.

Just to get asked to a Ibiza Rocks is a big thing.

I've been going to Ibiza all my life really, since I was a kid.

We played a lot of live shows, we just kept plugging away and playing music and people kept coming back.

There was no grand scheme, no big push, there are things I would have done differently now but you make decisions on the hop and it takes you where you are.

I'm not prolific, I go over stuff and it goes for me and sometimes against me. I'm annoyed that I don't do enough stuff off-the-cuff. It's a difficult thing to do something quickly and stand behind it.

A live show is a room full of sound and people and now you have technology where people can film it and take it away and all that is lost afterwards but they have a souvenir.

I'm not like a total recluse who lives in the woods or anything.

As a singer-songwriter I definitely think I push the mould a lot.

I've always thought I crossed this really weird gap between the pop world and some slightly more left-field singer-songwriter music, but everyone's always comparing me with Ed Sheeran. It's frustrating.

Women and their impact, good and bad. It makes men write songs. I write about relationships, basically.

I'm not very good at speeches.

I'm not very good at dancing.

I think the most frustrating thing is when people... sometimes people are a bit lazy and they don't listen to something, and they'll just say you sound like something else and it's quite clear that you don't, I think that's frustrating.
