I'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.

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

I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.

I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

My mom is a sculptress.

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