There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.

With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It's almost like watching a scene from a film, and that's what I go about trying to catch in a song.

I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.

I've always been very politically interested from a very young age and I hadn't felt that was something I could begin to bring into my songwriting because I hadn't felt I'd reached the stage, that I had the skill with language enough, yet, to do that.

I've been so used to being supported by musicians, and I don't class myself as a particularly adept musician on instruments. I think I'm a songwriter.

It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.

I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.
