I'm trying to solidify a long-term career, because I have no other skills and no other abilities.

I might not be beautiful, but I'm very interesting!

I've learnt to hide my tears on stage. They make people uncomfortable.

My childhood definitely revolved around my relationship with my brother. I wanted to be different. I wanted to find my way of being as intriguing and interesting as he was.

I have learned to write about things that are personal without objectifying anybody or anything, and that's been an important lesson for me. It's useful not to dump on people while simultaneously expressing a truth or a feeling if it's necessary, without diluting the intensity of the lyric.

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 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.
