I think that sometimes almost the bigger tragedy in a weird way is all of the future imagined creative projects that could have happened that didn't. I feel the same way about lots of brilliant people who die young, kind of senselessly especially.

I don't really go to clubs so I don't know what sounds are made there.

I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.

I can go from one extreme to another, from playing at the Sydney Opera House on the Songbook tour to shows with Soundgarden at Voodoo Fest, all in a week.

Everybody is influenced by someone.

There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.

I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.
