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

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

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

When I performed the songs in front of an audience at the end of each project and I knew the storytellers were in the crowd listening, that was hard.

I make a living from storytelling - if you're a public person and you sing songs about getting married to get a visa, and you are actually doing that, you're gonna end up in trouble.

I've always been against recreating or re-recording samples, but I managed to re-record one or two that were just too expensive and it was just ridiculous.

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.
