I never sought out a record deal. It caught me with my pants down. I was just a musician doing my thing, I didn't even send my records out. Jamie Cullum catchdealmusician Change image and share on social
I sit around for ages waiting for inspiration. Then when I get an idea, I want to go with it and get something as quickly as possible. It's like catching a fly in a bottle. I'll play with drums for a bit, then the piano for a bit, play the guitar. Jamie Cullum agebitebottle share on social

I'm no longer a shoeaholic, but I used to be. I used to spend all my time on tour either buying records or shoes. Jamie Cullum buylongrecord Change image and share on social
I've got no problem whatsover with collar bars coming back in. I need to look a tiny bit older before I can dress like that the entire time - otherwise I'm going to look like I'm in 'Bugsy Malone.' Jamie Cullum backbarbite Change image and share on social
I worship pianos like they are prize diamonds, and I never willfully do damage to them. But I grew up playing guitars, and you treat a guitar like a best friend or a little brother or a lover you have a tempestuous relationship with. Jamie Cullum brotherdamagediamond share on social
