I feel like I've spent the last five years of my life on the road. It hasn't affected my songs but it's probably affected everything else about me. Obviously, the more you travel, the wilder the things that keep happening to you, the more likely it is you'll get complete strangers knocking on your hotel room door.

I don't really care who collects my work, black, white, red, yellow. You have to also be consciously aware of, what does this mean in your home? And how are you supporting this work and the message behind the work?

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

There are times when I think I can sing it better, but usually I find that I can't.

You write a scene, and it works or it doesn't. It's immediate.

I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built out of longing great wonders have been willed they're only little tears darling let them spill and lay your head upon my shoulder.
