I like to be around things that I find inspiring.

I don't hold onto anything, because it's a waste of energy to do so, really. There's nothing that I can do about the way people want to write about me. I just try and concentrate on my work and do that as well as I can.

Before I record for real, I know pretty much exactly how I want them to feel.

If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.

It [ "Not For Long"] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
