I guess, a lot of people think is a long time between albums. It was needed for me. I went through a lot to get the album ["Wild Things"] finished. I actually went through a lot to even get the album started.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

I feel like in every song I write, I always write a little darker bit.

It doesn't matter if there are 20, 40, 100, or 500 people there. It doesn't matter how many people. You've got to perform to those people because they've come.

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.

Since I've stopped drinking I'm way better at singing. I can project my voice better. I can actually walk on stage and make eye contact with the audience, which I never used to know how to do in the past. So, it's made a huge difference for me.

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