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 good to feel excited by the environment you're in.

People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.

I would never feel confident enough to express my views and opinions as the right ones because I just don't think that's possible. There are so many sides to everything that nobody is right or wrong.

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

I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.

But even when I do give interviews, I always come across as such a completely different person. It seems like there's no controlling it anyway.
