When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.

I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.

It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

For all the things I'm losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

I'm really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can't sit there with someone that loves me.
