I've been thinking about songwriting more in terms of playing it live, and how it will sound as a band.

I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

You live and you learn.

I've always been attracted to romantic secondhand clothes. But my style developed as I started going to these strange raves where everybody had these very definitive costumes.

I've spent a lot of time in tiny venues in the way that I got my record deal and got my name out there just performing live. I was literally performing my songs in all kinds of different ways with different guitarists, and I didn't have an album up online or anything. It's been a lot of work; it definitely hasn't been a sudden explosion into fame.

I want people to get hit and caught by my music.

I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
