Tom Odell Quotes

I don’t really have loads of friends - three or four who are close. The thing that I love the most is playing with my band, and with everything else I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don’t think I’m socially awkward. I just prefer being behind a piano Picture Quote #1

I want people to hear the honesty in my singing, and that I’m not hiding behind anything. It’s raw. It’s not for any arrogance or ego. It’s just pure feelings Picture Quote #1

When I was around 13 or 14, I started getting really into songwriting. And one day, I was rooting through my mum’s old tapes and records, and I found ‘Grace’ by Jeff Buckley. I remember so vividly the first time I put it on. It blew my mind: his voice, the way he could play the guitar. I must have listened to the album over and over for weeks Picture Quote #1

Everyone in England knows about Burberry, and it kind of represents a standard of being well-dressed... But the nice thing is, they have a lot of clothes, so I still feel like myself whenever I’m wearing their clothes Picture Quote #1

I just never really thought of not being involved, because when I write the songs I take them to a certain place and by that point I kinda know what I want them to sound like Picture Quote #1

I would consider myself a perfectionist, yeah. I don’t think that is always that helpful, either. Sometimes it’s good to be a little more open-minded; you can overthink things when things are actually fine, and it’s that moment that you lose it. Looking back, sometimes I’ve made mistakes from being a perfectionist Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying you have to be totally despondent or anything, but... in New York, it’s cold sometimes; it rains sometimes; even if everything in your life is great, bad weather can set the mood. You can write songs in New York because it’s not always perfect. To write a good song, things can’t be perfect Picture Quote #1

The strongest feelings I’ve had in my life are when love has gone right and when love has gone bad. And I think strong feelings make good songs Picture Quote #1

One month I’ll be completely obsessed with Bob Dylan and the next Arcade Fire. I like early Elton John and David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. I listen to a lot of American bands. But I like listening to new bands, too Picture Quote #1

What’s nice about Twitter is that you’ve got that point of contact with your fans that artists have never had before. I think it’s good for musicians. Just as long as you don’t start tweeting things about your girlfriends or boyfriends - there’s got to be a line Picture Quote #1

I have always liked clothes and fashion. And really, being a British male, I am automatically the best dressed person in any room - especially in America Picture Quote #1

I tend to write and record things quite quickly. You can tamper with things for years, and it’s artistic laziness sometimes Picture Quote #1

My aspirations aren’t to sell millions of records, but to write really good songs Picture Quote #1

I’ve only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales Picture Quote #1

I genuinely find the most meaningful thing I do is to make music, but also to absorb some sort of creativity Picture Quote #1

Every musician writes about past relationships. And other than that, I can promise you, I have very little in common with Taylor Swift Picture Quote #1

Songs are about just being totally honest and putting those words to music Picture Quote #1

Throughout my entire life, I constantly tried to fight normality. I hate it. I hate the idea of it. I hate routine. I hate anything that feels remotely regular or right Picture Quote #1
