Whenever I've chosen a song because it's clever, it's always turned out to be a mistake.

A whole album to one writer - now that would be really interesting.

Being in the studio is a really romantic time.

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

When it's open and honest, that's when the real nature of who you are as a vocalist or as a performer, all of that stuff can finally start to become what it's supposed to be. Like a settling into yourself. It's not even a musical thing, it's a whole mindset, a whole acceptance of who you were supposed to be. Life sounds good

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

It's impossible to make a record when you're ill because it affects how you listen to things. You can't make decisions. It all sounds terrible.
