When I'm on a roll nothing makes me happier or feel more satisfied, like plugging in, life makes sense.

From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.

Heaven is what we spend our lives trying to find.

I don't believe in trouble. Because I think that trouble is sometimes good, sometimes bad. I've been known to be called trouble, which I think is quite a compliment. But I suppose, thinking about it, that my best and worst trouble has always had something to do with a man.

I get a feeling, on a guitar, and I sort of mess around until something resonates with me, and then I just find that what happens is that a melody comes, and with that, words.

The husk could be some useless bloke or losing myself and changing my DNA with bottomless grief.

I've also been writing with my guitarist, Ted Barnes, and he's amazing. Writing with him has taught me a lot about my own writing process, in the sense that it's incredably personal to write with someone else from scratch.
