I sometimes suffer from insomnia and one of the first times it ever happened I was like, "I don't know what to do with myself," so I started writing a song and by morning it was finished. It was about how I couldn't sleep... I was 14.

I kind of got inspired by [William] Wordsworth and [Samuel Taylor] Coleridge - I went the old traditional way of finding inspiration, I guess.

I'm a terrible sleeper. I get obsessive, repetitive thoughts and it's horrible.

If something depressing is happening, that's gold. That's the best possible situation you could be in. But if that doesn't happen, you just have to make up stuff - it's more fun because you have more freedom with what you can write about. You can invent characters and situations. It's actually easier.

I don't have a lot of self-confidence. I'm getting there. Before I had zero confidence, but it's one of those things you learn and accept.

I find Spanish really difficult. They speak so quickly, whereas in German it's very clear what they're saying. It's easier to repeat.
