I appreciate people who try and use language in an interesting way.

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.

I would like to believe in an afterlife; it makes things more palatable. But I'm not banking on it.

I don't really care what someone's background is; creativity can come from any background.

It's weird: The leader of the Conservative Party in England is two years younger than me, and I still don't really feel like a responsible adult.

I guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.

The most entertaining songs don't always come from a nice place. In songs where I think I'm being really sensitive, they seem quite boring actually. I've found that the songs that come out of nastier, more misanthropic places are better.
