I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.

There's huge amounts of nonsense that goes with everything surrounding music and art. All the things you have to do promote yourself - there's huge amounts of nonsense.

I read a lot by female psychoanalyst Lou Andreas-Salomé, who wrote prominent biographies of Nietzsche, Rilke, and Freud because she studied with all of them. She had this unbelievable insight into contemporary psychoanalysis. What is so interesting is that she wrote her life, and she knew that her life would be about these men, and it didn't stop her from leading an incredibly successful academic career. But her strange self-awareness that she was going to bookmark these men's lives is really interesting to me.

I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young.

It’s hard to accept yourself as someone you don’t desire / As someone you don’t want to be.

I made an important decision, which was to pursue happiness. Rather than accept unhappiness. That's why I'm here, and it's great. I'm in a very good place in my life.

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