If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them.

Giving up and doing something else (nursing, for me) was exactly what eventually led me to making music that other people wanted to hear.

I couldn't name more than a couple of good drum'n'bass acts, and I have no idea what's big in the dance world right now.

What I like is horror movies, including '80s slasher movies that politically I have all kinds of problems with. Which is an interesting balance, because I have this leftist puritan strain that, well, if you like something that goes against your politics, maybe you should train yourself not to like it. But I know that I like horror movies and that's what I watch when I get a moment.

Adulthood is interesting to adults. But I would never want to write about stuff I dont feel everybody can connect to.

I crave music that'll sort of hurtle me into space and release me up there.

When all my friends insisted that they were feeling jaded, it struck me as an affected pose. To me, everything is always new.
