It's hard to dance with a devil on your back, So shake him off...

The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music.

I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.

I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

Excitable, easily distracted, sometimes vacant, prone to gloominess and also extreme euphoria; I can’t be generous with time, but I try to be generous with affection. I’m really lucky to be able to be in some of these situations and it feels really nice to be able to take people along with me for the ride. Oh, and I’m a pain in the ass as well.

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

I'm quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I'd write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I've had to create my own way of writing, which isn't typical. Everything's a big crescendo.
