This will be my first visit [to Israel]. I've heard it's a special place, that Tel Aviv is exciting and that the atmosphere is excellent....I hope I'll have time to visit the holy places.
James Blunt
I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.
James Blunt
My parents are still together. I have two sisters. I travel the world and they are the people I speak to.
James Blunt
Sometimes, reading my own media, the negativity can upset me, but I just deal with things on a positive basis. I mean, I have up to 20,000 people singing my words back to me on a nightly basis - they share my hopes and fears, and they relate to my own life experiences. Life can be pretty isolating, but that connection is always amazing.
James Blunt
I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?
James Blunt
I don't think I picked up the guitar in the first place as a way of getting women. There are probably better ways of doing it.
James Blunt
As a singer-songwriter who gets up on stage and sings about those things that make me vulnerable is an amazing experience. You get up on stage and effectively take your clothes off in front of thousands of people.
James Blunt
Mothers always think their children are prettier than they really are, and mine has always told me I look like Tom Cruise.
James Blunt
Honestly if men are given a choice, we'll choose everything.
James Blunt
I don't know how to write without thinking what people would want. You don't know whether they want you to be black or white, so you kind of get a gray, something in the middle.
James Blunt
Every time I do an interview, it's like serious therapy. But real therapy isn't something that I'd ever have. I feel fortunate that mentally everything is functioning well.
James Blunt
Every person I've met has influenced my songs.
James Blunt
To get up on stage with a band is fantastic. To play songs to an audience is mindblowing.
James Blunt
I guess if you're stupid enough to join the army without thinking about getting shot at, then you really are a fool.
James Blunt
We see differences in people and seem to be afraid of people. The black or white or gay or straight - I don't necessarily look for differences but for similarities. We need to be looking out for each other.
James Blunt
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
James Blunt
I think sensitive is the wrong description of me. I'm British, actually, so quite bad at expressing myself in conversation, as any ex-girlfriend will tell you. I'm probably emotionally stunted.
James Blunt
I try to read everything that I can about myself because Saddam Hussein didn't read his reviews and he thought he was winning!
James Blunt
I am a dreamer but when I wake, you can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take
James Blunt
No matter whether you are black or white, man or woman, gay or straight, Christian, Muslim, or Jew, we all share the same emotions, the same human condition.
James Blunt
