I'm doing a little freelance work, and I think everybody's trying to take their minds off rock and roll for a little while and get some perspective.

My parents know that I have always been sort of a dark melodramatic kid, so they were never concerned.

Live on coffee and flowers. Try not to worry what the weather will be.

Sadness is not always the worst feeling. Sometimes it's a really pleasurable thing to be overwhelmed with sadness.

It is the melody and the rhythm that are by far the most important and then words and imagery and stuff, story bits will start to stick to a melody and that is the way I write.

I drink wine on stage to sort of loosen my grip on reality a little.

The song 'Humiliation' is kind of about what if, outside of a dinner party or something, I was blown up by a drone missile, out by the pool. What an embarrassing way to go.
