I feel really lucky to have found musical success before I'm 30, to be doing absolutely what I want to do. I would be quite happy if I died tomorrow.

It's great to go on your own and discover new things just for yourself, to meet new people and all that. If you're all on your own, then there is nobody there to guide you and you have to make all the decisions for yourself. It's quite liberating in a way.

Looking back, I think that's why I did music. I'd get home from school and the house would be so quiet.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.

My dad's Irish music was such a huge influence.

It's all right to make mistakes, you're only humanInside everybody's hiding something.

I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
