At the end of the day, I'm a human being and I just think that's what it is. Challenging stereotypes by just being who I am.

I don't think I've had to change anything, really, apart from being more serious and focussed on my drive. One thing I've realised is that you get out what you put in and because of that my work rate has increased ten fold.

I think it's imperative to have faith or religion, because it's good to have morals, to be kind to others.

I like to think I don't make music for ignorant people.

I think when you come to Australia you immediately get the sense of fitness and taking care of yourself and being healthy, and it really shows.

I grew up in an eclectic house where people were listening to all types of different music. I also think being educated, eloquent and knowing how to talk for yourself in the industry makes you go a long way.

I really want to work with Adele, I think she's amazing. Lykke Li as well. I love them both. I'd also like to work with The Script. I met them in Australia and we just got on like a house on fire.

I'm starting to think about my life, thinking about where I'm going to be in three years time: who I'm going to be with, where I'm going to be situated myself.

Sometimes I would bring some of my music to the school and perform on the playground, and they'd think, "There goes Patrick, trying to entertain everyone as usual."
