I stay true to my lyrics. If I go back and look at them in hindsight, the emotions I had when I wrote them have passed. It feels unjustified to change them.

I feel curious about every situation I'm in.

My mum came from nothing and didn't have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.

Mum doesn't like it when I mention that Dad's a better cook than her. He was born in Spain and spent eight years in Portugal and is exceptional at lots of cuisines.

I like sparkles; I think I'm a magpie.

I am inspired by show girls and Vegas. I was a cabaret performer, so that's where all that influence comes from.

When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.
