Eliot Sumner

I didn't come out as gay; I came out as I don't really believe in gender. ”

I sometimes suffer from insomnia, and one of the first times it ever happened, I was like, 'I don't know what to do with myself,' so I started writing a song, and by morning, it was finished. It was about how I couldn't sleep... I was 14. ”

Being Sting's daughter hasn't kicked any doors open for me - he has had absolutely nothing to do with my career. It's all been down to me so far, and that's how I want to keep it. ”

I think everyone's got an obstacle in their career that they have to challenge. I think, in a way, that pushes you to prove who you are. ”

I like to move around. It suits me. I grew up in Wiltshire on a farm, and that's the only place I call home. ”

It's always best to challenge yourself and go to a place out of your comfort zone. ”

I don't look into myself too much. I don't think I'm shy so much as a better listener than I am a speaker. I just really don't wish for attention. ”

I picked up the guitar when I was 4, and from then, I could never be bored. ”

I'm very shy and awkward; I can't have a normal conversation, and then people think I'm being a bit rude, but really I'm not. ”

It stresses me out writing songs,; I get really super nervous and speedy. I feel like I'm possessed. ”
