I think everybody who relates to music is kind of isolated. It's lonely. Everyone who uses the creative side of their brain is that much removed from reality. They are looking for answers wherever they can find them.

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

People think I look odd onstage. But the way I deal with being incredibly nervous is by concentrating really hard.

I was an incredibly misanthrope. I couldn't relate to people my age, and I'm not sure why, as I wasn't particularly smart or interesting

It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.

If I don't have an outlet in which to express myself...throug h songwriting or other mediums...I get a bit jittery.

I'd like to make music for as long as I can; it feels like something I need to do.
