It's strange to think about the scathing reviews 'Sigh No More' got and then consider that we could win best album a year or so later.
'The Theory Of Everything' was a charming story, but I never dreamed it would turn out the way it did, winning all sorts of awards, and I don't think anybody working on it did.

It's always fun to be the underdog and surprise people. It certainly puts less pressure on you.
You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don't think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.
