I don't need a man in my life.

Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing.

My first language is Gaelic.

A lot of people tend to think that because I need all this time on my own in the studio, that I need time on my own, period. And that's not really true.

My mouth is a womb. My teeth are my children. My tongue is their babysitter.

There is no formula to it because writing every song, for me, is a little journey. The first note has to lift you and make you go, 'What's this?' You play C, but why is it that one day it leads to G and it didn't yesterday? I don't know. It's everything. It's the walk you take in the morning, it's the night before, the meeting with people, landscapes, the chats, all of that evolves in some way into melody, but I'm not sure how it's going to happen. I'm dealing with the unknown all the time and that is exciting.

Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing. You have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. I feel that I need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.
