“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.

I always make music that's reflective of the mindset I'm in at the time, how I'm feeling.

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

I have these thoughts. I think "What if the show doesn't sell well? What if it's a half-empty room?" These are the paranoia thoughts that go through my head on a day-by-day basis.

I think I've got a lot of dark lines in this record [Wild Things] that I've hidden quite nicely among the nice things.

You don't say "Maybe I should go to bed early tonight" or do any of that stuff. It's almost like you know you're alone and you have to get through it by whatever means - distracting yourself. Because, the more alone time the worse, you know?
