I absolutely adore the alchemy of a bit of an idea.

There are people who can sit down and write a song about any given subject, and they can do it really, really well.

Sometimes travelling really intensely for a long time is like having a continuous nervous breakdown.

Do I create conflicts for myself? Sure I do.

Certain songs have a life, and certain songs don't. A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life. And then other songs are only really important for certain periods of your life, and you move on from them and find yourself not necessarily needing to sing them anymore.

I only ever really take out my guitar when I'm miserable, which isn't necessarily a very good time to do it.

I guess in a way I just feel blessed to be able to make music.
