What we are fed through the media I do not accept, unless you see it with your own eyes you cant trust anything.

Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing. It's only really the last five to 10 years that I've taken my writing seriously in this way, as something I can keep working toward. I think I feel myself much more before as simply a songwriter.

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.

Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.

We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.

I see men come and go, but there'll be one who'll collect my soul.

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
