I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.

Home's the most excellent place of all.

I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.

I've always accepted some kind of deity, especially as a songwriter.

When you're on a merry-go-round, you miss a lot of the scenery.

The lyrics aren't simple, either. They're extremely difficult because I'm trying to say complicated things in as few words as possible.

The art of love is who you share it with.
