I think I've always looked older than I am. I hope that's going to work in my favor when I get older.

During the songs, you transcend yourself. The best way to be in the performance is to be without pause and be essentially in the moment, in that moment of expression.

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.

You know, people always ask, 'What are you like offstage?' And I always say, 'Well, I'm completely normal and mellow.'

I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

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.

It's very flattering when you look into the crowd and people have made an effort and dressed in your style.
