My songs are very personal, which means they are fantastically therapeutic to write, but performing them night after night is emotionally draining.

I love church buildings, particularly cathedrals, and I like living in spaces that remind me of music or evoke that creative energy.

Lizz Wright is my favourite singer. Her voice moves me and takes me to another place. She also grows her own food and that inspires me.

You don't have to aim to be the best of everything, thinking that one day you're going to be the top of the world; I don't think it exists.

London audiences have this reputation for being a bit too cool for school.

I respect hippos. They just look the way they do; they can't do anything about it, but they don't seem bothered.

I always said when I was younger, I wanted to write film music, and I think that's what my ultimate dream is.
