I don't go about playing music differently. It changes my sleeping schedule and my drinking habits, that's what I like to say.

There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
