I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.

Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.

I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

I like to be around things that I find inspiring.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.

It's good to feel excited by the environment you're in.

Never settle for anything less than you want.
