“A lot of people have been very dismissive of me. I'm hardly the darling of the N…” — Paolo Nutini

When you're waking up every day, and it's all about you, I don't consider that to be a way to live your life if you can help it. I think people who know me know that I find time to enjoy myself and not take life - or myself - too seriously at all.

When things get too grand or too big, I struggle to keep up with it all.

All of a sudden, my picture's in the paper, or I'm making a music video, and it's still the most surreal experience. I thought you could learn, and you would acclimatise, but I really haven't.

Really, if you've got people who want you to play, you play.
