Back in October, Smith talked about his relationships. He told British GQ, "All of them, equally, were just incredible teachers. And I think that now, it's definitely changed how I am in relationships, because I don't need another person to direct me to me. I direct them to me myself. Because I know who I am. And it's beautiful. Every single relationship is different. Every two people are different. And I think it's just learning your own language together."
