One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, "Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem." And I said, "Yes!" And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it.

I'm reluctantly interested in love and helplessly interested in logic and yet they're so conflicting. And they're both necessary for a happy balance, a happy existence... I think.

Why fear death? Be scared of living.

Now that I'm feeling the responsibilities of adulthood, the choices we make become an incredible weight.

I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.

All my songs come from me because I only seem able to write about myself and my experiences.

My songs are not pretty. They're what I call optimistic realism.
