People are always very nice.

Lyrics are kind of the whole thing; it's the message. Something might have a beautiful melody but if it's not the truth coming out of your mouth, it's not appealing

I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

I don't know if bliss is possible and I've always thought that my best times will be later in life.

I think that people respond to honesty in music, so I only choose songs that are the truth for me.

I don't get recognised in London or at home either - very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.

I still think of myself as from Illinois.
