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. Tom Odell awkwardbandclose share on social
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. Tom Odell badfeelinggood Change image and share on social
I tend to write and record things quite quickly. You can tamper with things for years, and it's artistic laziness sometimes. Tom Odell artisticlazinessquickly Change image and share on social

There are a lot of women at my gigs. The first show I headlined was a sea of women, which I can't complain about. I'm pleased these 18-year-old girls like my music. Tom Odell complaingiggirl Change image and share on social
It's like there's the rest of the world, and then there's America. Part of the reason I would really love continue to making music over here because so much of American music has inspired me, whether it's Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen.

There's always a part of my brain saying: 'Stop getting comfortable. Don't relax.' Because I find it difficult to write when I'm happy. I have to go out there and get battered up and bruised to write anything. I have to feel something. Tom Odell batterbrainbruise share on social
When I'm at home, I like to put records on, but because I travel a lot, I listen to a lot of music on my iPhone. Tom Odell homeiphonelisten Change image and share on social
If people stop being interested, it's because you haven't written a good enough album. Music will always be the most powerful thing. It doesn't matter what record labels or journalists say. It's the song. Tom Odell albumgoodinterest share on social
