One girl, actually, in the UK — it was a really small show in Wales — a girl came up to me and said that because of one of my songs she was still alive. She’d decided not to commit suicide. It was a really emotional moment.

Getting too much advice from your partner is a little bit like...it can cause conflict. As much as you're married, you're still an individual and you still have your own self of yourself.
