Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.

I've always felt writing a song was a bit like going on location. That's true in an almost literal sense. Where you are seeps in somehow.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.

I feel like a juggler running out of hands.

You need a platform upon which to release an orchestral record, otherwise it's just going to be an obscurity.

I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years.And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
