The way I work is mostly unconscious and instinctive.

After being in the creative, hermetic state I have been in, coming out has been painful, but it is getting easier.

I love the feeling of nostalgia vying with the present. That can be from song to song, or within the same song.

I think that it's always more interesting to combine familiar sounds together in a new way and with newer sounds if you can make it work, rather than sticking to just one style too strictly.

I think I am a late-bloomer. My taste in music just keeps getting better.

I just love music, so that's what I'm always working on, and I try to say yes a lot. Maybe I'm more ambitious than I thought I was.

It was definitely in my mind to do a solo album, but I didn't know it would take this long.
