And all I really want to say is you're the reason I want to stay.

Even though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that's when I get to go home.

The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.

Being capable of anything is a bullshit concept, unless it means you also admit that you're capable of cheating, lying and killing.

I drink a lot, probably too much. My scene while writing lyrics is always a bottle of scotch and stacks of note cards, pencil and pencil sharpener. I throw around note cards and drink.

In many ways, I've chosen to be plain, almost too plain, too self-effacing. Like, if I record a vocal and I don't like the way it sounds, I would have them turn it up and take the reverb off it to make it as plain as possible.

Because I write very simply, but inside the simplicity, there's a lot of subtlety. That's what I'm proud of.
