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.

Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.

It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.

When I'm writing for rappers it's kinda like switching, "Okay, you're not PJ. Now you have to act like a rapper."

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.

Maybe you're a singer or not, but what taps into the soul leads to the heart, and that's really what I came away with, with the starting point for the record being that I could speak as a human being and feel things very deeply.
