My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.

War is devastating, and it leaves its scars for generations.

Honestly if men are given a choice, we'll choose everything.

I don't know how to write without thinking what people would want. You don't know whether they want you to be black or white, so you kind of get a gray, something in the middle.

I write songs about my own experiences. You can't lie to yourself. You can't pose to yourself.

I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.

Every person I've met has influenced my songs.
