I tend to lose myself in the moment. I’m not very good at holding back. I don’t know how to do this without feeling everything. My emotions are the tool I use to perform.

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

I didn't want to become a personality, I wanted to be a musician, but because I didn't have an album to stand by yet it was hard for people to see that. But now, two albums in, I'm happy with things.

You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.

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

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

I like to keep my issues drawn, it's always darkest before the dawn.
