There's not only emotion in the way you sing but also in what you sing. That way I can compensate it.

Most of the lyrics are over a year old, and it doesn't feel like it's about me. Time created a distance.

I am a very sensitive person, very impulsive and emotional.

I've had a wordless phase, and that's still not entirely over: what I sing is not always literally meant that way, and you can hear that in the way it is sung.

I try to imagine how we would live if we didn't know we were going to die. Would we live our lives differently? Less careful, maybe? Less scared? These are beautiful things to think about and build a song around.

I've just put my heart and soul in a song and need at least a week to recover.

My voice adapts itself to the music. I can do a lot more than you hear in Portishead.
