I'd love to go to Easter Island, Hawaii, Iceland and Antarctica.
If I can be somewhere with sunshine and have bare feet and a book, I'm happy.
I've always been a huge fan of Beck.
I've got my roots in Northern Ireland - my biological father's side of the family were from Belfast.
There was an obvious display of blatant sexism when I couldn't get signed. They didn't say I was ugly. They didn't say that they didn't like the music. They said I was too old! At 26! So Badly Drawn Boy, Doves, Elbow, James Blunt - you can be a gnarly old beardy bloke with a bit of a paunch and that's all right?
I like that I have a boyish figure, because I love wearing men's suits.
I follow the Bulletproof diet - it is based on grass-fed steak, vegetables, no carbs and a lot of butter.
You know, we were outdoorsy types, my folks, and one of the first tapes I got, a friend gave me a cassette tape of Ella Fitzgerald singing with the Count Basie orchestra. And it was the first time, really, that someone's voice had really spoken to me, and it was just so pure.
I don't let housekeeping in when I stay in hotels. It cuts down on all the caustic cleaning products and aggressive water usage, and I never use the little plastic bottles of toiletries they set out.
My dad's a physicist and had a key to the St Andrew's observatory, and we used to pop down to see Halley's Comet and Saturn and meteor showers.
Skiing fast feels like complete freedom to me.
When I was seventeen, I left Scotland to go to Kent, a well-to-do boarding school in Connecticut, where there was a contingent of really naughty kids.
I think it was Dad who gave me my nickname 'Katy Custard,' recognising my deep, positive and lasting relationship with it.
I can do the vocal acrobatics but I really try not to. I've always been drawn to singers who sing it like it is, pure, straight down the line: Ella Fitzgerald, Patti Smith, Carole King. Simplicity is really important to me.
I've always tried to avoid music being direct therapy, and I've always found there's a power when you write something that can have its own interpretation - although I'm not being intentionally evasive.
The only thing I know about being Asian is that my hair is black and my eyelashes are straight and I have strange eyebrows.
It feels like your subconscious can be way ahead of you, as a songwriter. You can write a song that you think is about one thing and months later you're playing it and thinking, hang on, this is completely informing where I am now.
KIN' is basically a kind of rite of passage, scars-and-all celebration of going through difficult things in your life and being better for it.
You know there's this really strange mystique about Simon and Garfunkel, when they use the amazing mandolin and all the percussive stuff. It sometimes sounds very global.
Well, I was a real late-comer to listen to music, actually, because my parents - first of all, my parents weren't big music fans. They didn't listen to music. We didn't really listen to stuff in the house.
