I want to be a better person. I want to be a stronger person. I want to be someone who hurts less.

When people hear the word “beautiful”, they expect something to be pretty. And for me that's not always necessarily the case, y'know.

A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!

The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.

Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.

I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around.

Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.
