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.

More quotes by James Blunt
And the one job my father knew of, that he'd had experience of himself, was the Army, so he could help me in that direction.
James Blunt
Every person I've met has influenced my songs.
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
The song is about love, life, fear and hope... and more than anything, you... and me...
James Blunt
To get up on stage with a band is fantastic. To play songs to an audience is mindblowing.
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
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
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
Will you be my shoulder when I'm gray and older? Promise me tomorrow starts with you. Getting high, running wild among the stars above. Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
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
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
I have fun with it and I am honest and open about the way I lead my life and don't mislead anyone. I've had the time of my life and thank God for that, it would be such a waste otherwise.
James Blunt
I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.
James Blunt
In a way song writing can almost be detrimental, because suddenly you find an outlet that is a kind of cheating. You don't need to have direct communication. You can say, 'I can't describe it to you, but I will record it and send it to you.'
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
Honestly if men are given a choice, we'll choose everything.
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
Being British, I don't really have a way of expressing myself in conversation. Music transcends language.
James Blunt
If the Army helped towards my tuition fees I would then give them four years of my life.
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?
