There's that kind of song, "Whoah baby, I love you," which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.

When I’m singing “Deanna,” for example, which I sing pretty much every night, it brings forward a kind of imagined, romanticized lie about this particular person, which I find really comforting and exciting to sing about.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.

I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.

We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.

I'm not religious, and I'm not a Christian, but I do reserve the right to believe in the possibility of a god.
