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

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

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.

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

There's a level of discipline I use as a writer, designed to get better at what I'm doing, that requires quite a lot of study and quite a lot of hard work as well.

People have this idea of me being some kind of monster, and that's the complete opposite of who I am.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.
