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 really think I need to find a home. I don't know if that includes a girlfriend or not, but first I need to find a home, definitely.

Family and friends always need to be bigger than your music career, and in that sense, your music will be bigger because you respect your family and your friends more.

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.

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 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.

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.
