I have intentions as a writer, but people - when they're listening to a track - will take from it what they interpret.

As an artist, you're never happy with anything you do. It's part of the process.

I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when - but just saying it could even make it happen.

What I've tended to do is to use my own experiences to get into someone else's mind, like in Wuthering Heights.

I feel like I have to do some promotion to let the people know that the records are out there; but I kind of like the idea that it's my work that does the talking rather than me.

The only person with you all your life is you. Your parents die. Things inside you die — illusions, gushes of personality. Only you can sort yourself out. Yourself may not be all you need, but it’s all you’ve got.

After I've done the salesman bit, I like to be quiet and retreat, because that's whereI write from. I'm a sort of quiet little person.
