I had so many songs that were actually sort of finished. And I deleted them. I wrote on my website that I'd put them on the shelf, but that wasn't true. I actually deleted them from my computer. I got sort of trigger-happy and I think I deleted about 200 songs from my computer.

I didn't have a home in the world, so I wanted a home in a person. I felt like I had found that, and then it was taken away from me.

I'm not too fond of the typical Australian activities or culture. I'm not into surfing.

I kind of like polishing the songs that I'm working on. I'm really working hard on some specific songs.

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.

I hate when songwriters refer to their songs as babies.
