You can analyze all you want but you can never explain away the God factor. Sometimes God just decides to breathe on something and it's completely His prerogative.

I only say this because a lot of people seem to think that if you're a musician you want to be a celebrity. But most musicians in the world aren't celebrities, and pretty much everything about the concept of 'celebrity' is a complete load of bollocks anyhow.

Now that I have seen I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead.

I have a particular style of writing and my voice sounds a particular way, which lends itself to a certain style.

I'm a bit of a book worm, so a lot of the songs I write are inspired by books.
