In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.

I've always felt profoundly about what's going on in the world on a daily basis. What I hadn't felt was that I was at a point in my writing career where I could write about these things in songs and do it well.

I think I've been interested in music since I was little.

Ideas for songs can come from something as simple as a photograph and letting my imagination run wild on an old photograph that I found, or to a film that I have seen or to just most of the time, just daily walking through life and keeping your eyes open.

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.

Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.

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