I think humans are driven by othering people, by defining themselves by who they are not and who is different from them. Human beings are in love with othering.

I am absolutely behind equal rights but I am also bridging the gap between cultural mentality and society's mindset as there are huge amount of gaps that need to be addressed and progress needs to be made. Yeah I am a feminist, it is not a difficult thing to explain.

When I write songs, I try to remove myself a little bit. Obviously they're very personal to me, but it feels easier if I feel like I'm writing characters.

Sexuality, and sexual orientation - regardless of orientation - is just natural. An act of sex is one of the most human things.

The song is about asserting yourself and reclaiming your humanity through an act of love.

I think if more people would understand how simple and what really feminism is, I would imagine that most men I know are feminists without verbalising or saying so.

I am a politically motivated person, and that will come through in the music. I'm not sure if every song will be Take Me to Church, but I can only hope that people enjoy the body of work that I have ahead of me.
