Those who have had the most impact and influence throughout history and certainly the people who've had the most impact and influence on me personally have been basically entirely unaware of any such influence and made their chief concern their personal devotion and obedience, and the pleasure of God in the hidden things of their lives.

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

I often think that eventually I'd love to do some papers... my correspondence if life calms down a bit, but I think I'd do history or English literature... I've had enough of journos.

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

Obviously, it was a big life change for me and quite a shock to suddenly have these songs I'd written in my bedroom as a far-too-intense teenager all over the airwaves and see my face on buses, especially in a small country like New Zealand, but at the same time it was such a thrill and an honour knowing that my music was reaching people.

I feel like I always have to have a song on my album that people can use in their weddings.

I learnt that music cost something, and that's a good thing. Also, that I should exercise, because I didn't and I got very sick.
