Im so fascinated by the human longing for meaning. The way we relate romantically to each other is so much to do with our longing for meaning as well.

I want to be the kind of artist who keeps pushing on every album. I don't want to settle on a sound.

I haven't stopped writing which is good. I'm scared to stop completely otherwise it might lead to stagnancy.

I moved from New Zealand to Melbourne when I was 17. I'd planned to go to university to study French, but I was offered a contract to write and record an album that was too good to pass up. Looking back now I think that was pretty young but, at the time, I was ready to have an adventure.

The fun of being in the pop world is you can really play with people's perceptions of what the word pop means.

Yeah, letting go - even just musically, aside from emotionally - I find that quite challenging. Knowing the right time for letting go of my album, for instance, was a really big challenge. Knowing when to put the red flags up and say, "It's done..." And also, emotionally, with relationships.
