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.

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.

Actually, I caught myself thinking that I was hoping for someone to break into my apartment and steal my computer, or a big fire would take place in my apartment, or thinking of uninstalling my firewall so someone could hack into my computer. I just had all these dreams and eventually realized what I needed to do was delete the songs because I really wasn't happy with them. I needed a fresh beginning.

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

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

The fate of a song is often established in the first 15 minutes of writing.

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.
