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.

I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.

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

In the past members of my family on both my mother's and father's side have fought in the war, in the first and second World Wars. Unfortunately, they're dead and I wasn't able to speak to them, but that was in our family history too.

It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent. Therefore I keep reaching for instruments I don't particularly know how to play, and then I become excited. That gives me energy to want to make new things, and it forces me to hear things in new ways, which then can only help to say things in a new way.

But huge photographs of dead bodies are slightly different. I couldn't find much humor there.

Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.
