I wanted to be heard myself, which is hard in a household of people who were very showy. It forced me to find myself and define a personality and a way of being different, and that's a thing that's going to help me to survive in a world of many people playing the guitar.

I went to college and stage school, and thought about acting, but... I just don't like actors very much! They're not as fun as musicians.

I was kind of a misfit, and when my mother died, I had to become an adult, something that I never thought I would ever be.

I think my mother was always worried about me when she was alive.

I don't like talking about music.

You know, people always ask me how I describe my music. First of all I tell them that's their job and then that also one day I hope to have things referred to as Martha Wainwright -esque.

I'm in hotel rooms night after night, playing a lot of the same venues as my dad and carrying the guitar that used to be his. We're the same person. I don't know if he realises how much of a legacy he has left to his children.
