I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.

Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.

I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.

I'd experimented with so many different types of music. I had these folky songs I'd written and recorded, but something wasn't quite right.

There's such an extreme feeling to be in love, especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship, where you're both kind of really bad for each other, but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions, I think, can only be described with extreme imagery.
