Paolo Nutini chats to I Like Music

PAULO: I would suggest that if you're wanting to make a record, then try to make a record that's totally and utterly no strings attached YOUR record and you've done it exactly the way that you wanted to do it, then I would suggest you finish it before you sign a record deal.

And then when you do sign your record deal, I think the best piece of advice I've ever got, and I've got the same piece of advice from Paul Weller and Johnny Borrell, is like, when you get things like your Montreaux Jazz Festivals and your T in the Park, just try to take away as much as you can from those experiences, purely because, there's not guarantee they'll happen again and you do that and there is no denying there is a lot of bullshit and politics involved in this job, so you've just got to get your head down and steamroll through these things. You know yourself it its something you totally don't want to do, you've just got to stand up and say you don't want to do that. Now a lot of people may perceive that as arsy or arrogant perhaps, but a lot of people perceive Thom Yorke and even Johnny Borell and Damon album, get a bad rap for being stubborn but, you know, they've sold millions of records.
