One night love affair, pretending we don't care, and now we're left with nothing.

My father's a character.

Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.

Music is just such... it's not therapy, but it's a release, it's a joy, it's a pleasure. And it's a job - which is weird, because I don't think of it as a job.

I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime, played it 'til my fingers bled.

One day I'll wake up and I'll have 10 or 12 songs and think, 'Oh that sounds like it could be a record.

The concept that you are not ingesting rotting flesh sort of sums it up for me.
