I'm just trying to get rid of all the mystery surrounding me and let people see what I'm thinking. So they can understand me and stop assuming things about me.

My first guitar was a Gibson Challenger.

If you do things when you're burned out, it'll make you bitter.

For a long time, music was hope. Now it seems music isn't enough to make me happy. It used to be that's all I needed to keep going. Now I need other things to take up the other parts of my life.

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.

My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.

I'm not a very good advice-giver.
