Everything's immediately diminished. That's why there's no real rock stars anymore. People are too accessible.

There's a lot that's happened in my life that maybe I didn't want to happen, but I suppose it's led me to exactly where I am now.

As I tell my intro creative writing students, after reading someone you love, wait at least an hour before starting to write.

We now live in a world where accessibility is paramount. So I think we just juxtapose that a little bit and maybe play the internet like a game because we don't like to be exposed as individuals, we like to be an entity.

There's a point when you're dating someone where you become aware of all the things you kind of thought you couldn't depart from. You kind of build all of these nostalgias and sort of antiquated memories in your mind, and when you're at the point during the breakup, you realise, "you know what, it actually takes a bit more than all this bullshit".

Everything that we've ever done has led up to this moment, so I presume there's a certain intricacy in that.

I think everything in life is an evolution, isn't it?
