More than meeting people and going out with girls, I'm focused on my music.

I'm a music man.

You know a date's gone really well when she's happy with nothing fancier than a Big Mac and fries!

Jessica Alba's very beautiful; so is Sienna Miller.

People use the 'love' word too early. When you've got that trust thing locked down, when you've lived together, and you know each other's good and bad qualities inside out, at that moment, you know if you truly love someone.

If you're in a good relationship, you should be able to say to your girlfriend, 'That girl walking down the street is great.'

I never let anyone know I was insecure about it - it was my own little thing - but I did have a problem being overweight. I always felt people were looking at me in a certain way as opposed to who I really was.

I like buying people little things, not flooding them with money, trying to win them.

Getting my mum a house was a really great feeling.

I'd love to reach the pinnacle where you just can't wait to get the new album by Craig David.

It's like a god-given gift that I've actually been able to go out and sing my songs.

If I couldn't sing tomorrow, I'd still write songs cos I'm passionate about that.

Certain key words, like, 'break it down,' 'this is how we do it' - they'll always end up on my tracks.

I have admiration for beautiful women.

When I grew up, I was living on a council estate overlooking a car park for a good 16 years of my life.

We tend to always want to obtain something new and something more, and we never really enjoy what we have.

If I live my life through nostalgia and what I did in the past and expect to be the new kid people have just discovered again, then unfortunately, I'm creating my own demise.

I wrote a song called 'Four Times A Lady' for Destiny's Child, and it was perfect. But then I had to spin it back and change all the lyrics to a guy's point of view cos I thought the track was too good to give away, heh heh. It's Craig David now.

Kasabian are wicked. They've got the hit songs, but it's the presence in the performance and the attitude with it that I love.

What I like about Kasabian is that it's melody driven.

I love songs, so when you're song-based, it doesn't matter which way the production leans.

I'm a big fan of Usher, and I'd love for us to record together.

I've experienced everything any aspiring artist could ever want.

Don't take social media seriously. Don't buy into the hype.

Take anything seriously in life, and you set yourself up for peril - trust me.

I see some artists who disown songs they love when they don't chart well. Would you do that to your children? Trust me, children ain't gonna do all the right things, so are you gonna disown them or embrace them and say, 'No, you're still my child. You didn't go out and do the right thing, but I'll still love you in the same way?'

Thankfully, my manager didn't talk me into 'Big Brother' or 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'

I relish performing.

When you first come out of the box, you want to play the 300-capacity place, then it's 1,600-capacity, then it's an arena - so, do you want to be in a stadium now? The ego keeps telling you that it's not enough.

I'm grateful for what I have and the people around me.

With every person you meet, there is a new and exciting experience to be had.

I think I'd be a very good dad, and I think I'd have a lot of wisdom to share.

I feel, in the sense that if you're heterosexual, if you're bisexual, if you're gay, if you're a lesbian, if you're transgender, whatever the vibe is, that's what you represent. I've always found it quite strange that we always like to try and define people and say this is how it is, and this is how it should be.

I leave it very open because, at the end of the day, it's one of those things where I shouldn't have to reinforce and state, 'No, I'm a heterosexual' - because that's all nonsense.

If I can be an advocate for people to get healthy, that's good, and it's not about just needing to go to the gym.

I do about two hours working out in the morning with my trainer. It's like brushing my teeth.

Psychologically, when you've been overweight, you want to achieve the polar opposite.

Something's wrong with all countries and all voting systems.

You find your personality real quick in school.

I am not competing to be an athlete. I make music.

When I go on stage, there's no way I can do the kind of show I do and not be fit for it. I can't. I want to give everything.

I'm all about the melody.

In the course of my career, which has been an incredible rollercoaster ride, I look at the journey and think it's been immense.

Let me create great music, go in the studio, and possibly become a memory and a time stamp in people's lives - and just give the best performances, because I know that's all that really matters.

Failure and success are part of the same seed. If you don't embrace your failure, you never really know what success is.

When you start to ascertain a physique, you run that thing where you don't want to lose it. It catches you; it's like a hook.

It's lovely to feel part of a community.

For me, I have the highest amount of respect for DJs. There's a real skill set and ability to hold a crowd's attention for four to five hours, especially with an R&B/hip-hop and open-format music.

That's the beauty with music in the digital age: you're always one follow away from experiencing something new.

What I've learned is that if you stay focused and believe and actually walk the walk, anything is possible.
