Quote

I think to be successful at anything you have to put in a hell of a lot of effort. Pick your battles. I picked music, put in a lot of effort, and it's worked.

Moments is about a girl dying and her boyfriend committing suicide because he can't live without her

The public has heard the stereotypical love songs a million times, and they've heard the stereotypical life-or-death songs millions of times. It's good to mix it up a little bit.

Image
I find the whole concept of women screaming at me so odd. It's very flattering, but I don't think I will ever consider myself to be a sex symbol.
Ed Sheeran
Image
I want to make the songs good. I think this is my main focus.

There were a couple of things I needed to do while I was in New York. One was to have a pizza pie, one was to get a tattoo... and the other was to get a Yankees hat.

I don't really do that whole 'single life' thing. I'm kind of heads down and get things done.
Ed Sheeran
Image
I'm quite arty. I didn't know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.

I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point.

With music, you could stick someone with a musical instrument or even not a musical instrument, get them to showcase their talent, and within 30 seconds you could tell whether they were good or not, but with acting you have to give them the right part.

Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.

The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become.
Ed Sheeran
Image
It's cool. One of the dudes who I made my album with who I'm a very good friend of for quite a while, I lived on his sofa for a while. And he's a professional guitar player, and he played for One Direction. And so I'd wake up on a sofa sometimes with Harry from One Direction on the other sofa, and I'd kind of be like 'you alright?'

As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.
Ed Sheeran
Image
The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become. It’s just kind of like the facts of life the practice makes perfect thing. Keep your fingers crossed, start from the bottom and work your way up.

The thing that I took away as an early fan from Bob Dylan was the storytelling aspects. He can tell some wicked stories.
Ed Sheeran
Image
Instead of writing songs for girls, I tend to write albums, which I guess is a bit weird.

I met Bill Clinton he's a very nice guy. Yeah, Bill Clinton's cool.
Ed Sheeran

I think the moment you start trying to please a fan base is when you start going downhill. I'm going to always, always write about what I want, even if it doesn't necessarily cater to most of them.

Paper or razor blade, never give up And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I couldn't just control that thought You'd find me buskin' on the street When it was cold outdoors And now I'm sweating on the stage With the sold out tours Writing love songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit
