I find myself more affected by music the more I do it. Particularly when you're touring, and you're in the bus, and you're listening to loads of music.

What's nice about Twitter is that you've got that point of contact with your fans that artists have never had before. I think it's good for musicians. Just as long as you don't start tweeting things about your girlfriends or boyfriends - there's got to be a line. Tom Odell artistboyfriendcontact share on social
