I think the cynicism that you have when you've just gone through a break-up is a luxury that you allow yourself for a while.

I had a period in my life when I was eight or nine when I was so scared of dying that I wouldn't go out of our house for a whole year.

I think to find an escape route out of a music industry that is becoming more and more focused on making money.

I was trying to actively get away from music, I guess. But I recorded a whole bunch of instrumental piano songs.

I love a lot of old disco because it's aerodynamic, smooth, and very seductive.

Vocal arrangements are something I'm working a lot with for the new songs.

I wanted the album to be aerodynamic, like an airplane taking off from a runway - all of a sudden you're in the air.
