I definitely grew up on a lot of American bands. I didn't really know that there were any decent Australian bands until I was around 20.

People should be free to take whatever they want from music and I think that over time I realized that different people always find different things in my songs, which is really good.

"On Script" is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. I'd just been jamming on it one day, and again I was struggling with lyrics. I'm still figuring out what it's about. I've seen a couple of reviews that are like, "It's about the monotony of playing the same songs every night," because I say, "On script every night/Like a well-rehearsed stage show." It's not about that at all, but I find that funny, how people project what they think about me, or songwriters in general.

I liked the idea of being a photographer, just that you take this one picture of this one thing that'll never happen again - it's a bit weird when you think about it.

Once you write and record a song, it becomes everyone else's song.

I started writing songs when I started learning guitar.

I don't know anything except being female, so I don't know the opposite of it.
