If we ever meet in real life, we can have a conversation. But you should go and live your real life and I'll go and live mine.

LA is an intense city. I was probably a bit too sensitive. I didn't have any friends so I was keeping pretty low key. I just whipped myself up into a bit of an emotional frenzy.

That's the weird thing about music: It's never for anyone to own.

Maybe 80 percent of what we conceive to be a song idea or the meaning of a song is not exactly what the artist meant most of the time. It's not bad - people can take what they want from it.

You can write a song about a girl or you can write a song about walking down the shops, and it's fine. I just try and do something as meaningful as I can without trying to be a pretentious loser because it's genuinely just how I see things.

I never think anything's finished. It's really not. Recording is only just a moment in time. It's as good as you can do it until then.

I change lyrics to the songs all the time, too. I don't know if it matters in a lot of ways because you can take what you want from it.
