When I was 14 I used to have a calendar on my wall, crossing the days off until I was 15, because the school leaving age was 15. Then three months before I turned 15 they changed the leaving age to 16.

I was picked on because I was timid. I had younger sisters; I couldn't turn to them for help. I didn't have an older brother.

A lot of musicians are really hard to deal with. They aren't as smart as me.

The thing with me, I can't talk about my work. I find it very difficult.

When I was 18 the vision was to make music that didn't exist, because everything else was so unsatisfactory.

Every day is great for me. I dislike rose-coloured glasses.

The thing with me. I can't stick musicians. I've thought about this. I can't stand them, and being stuck in a studio with them I think that's my strength I can hear what they can't.
