I go to a very visual place when I'm singing. It's very cinematic and I get this feeling of space. I love when music does that.

You have a tendency to just remember the bad times and bad moments. I think that often it's the way of life. Yet the rewards we got from it were fantastic and we played a lot of shows to sellout audiences in I don't know how many cities. I just think we didn't realise how insane it was until we were actually right in the middle of it and couldn't stop. We just couldn't stop.

"I dissolve in trust, I will sing with joy, I will end up dust". The line really spoke to me. That's what it is: Enjoy what you have here. You're not going to be here forever, but the songs stay forever. For me, it's like Bowie songs - they carry me, and they continue to, even though he's gone.

I still hold on to the idea that a record can really change the way I feel.

I have to feel the audience. I enjoy that feeling of community.

I have the urge to still be part of the world, the universe, of life. Through music I have the feeling that I come a little closer to that.

New York is a great place to feel inspired all the time.
