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

I think all of my songs are either based on personal experience or will be based on personal experience, because I do write a lot of songs prophetically.

I wanted to create a more spontaneous outlet for my songwriting to have alongside the more long-winded process of making an album. I wanted to have some fun.

It's time to find someplace where I feel like it's home.

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

The beauty of the collage technique is that you're using sounds that have never met and were never supposed to meet. You introduce them to each other, at first they're a bit shy, clumsy, staring at their shoes. But you can sense there's something there. So you cut and paste a little bit and by the end of the song you can spot them in the corner, holding hands.

When I went through the break-up, I really looked for some kind of music, or art or literature that could say, "I've been in the same situation." I couldn't find anything at the moment, and that made me really sad.
