Quite often when I record a song, writing it and making a demo is the big thing and, after that, I think, how do I actually translate this into real life? A lot of the time I think I can't be bothered.

Biographies of British pop celebrities are terrible.

I don't want to be my extravert self all the time.

It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.

Well, don't we all feel like jumping to the end of the world sometimes?

A lot of times songs are very much of a moment, that you just encapsulate. They come to you, you write them, you feel good that day, or bad that day.
