You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

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.

Writing is something that I practice at every day to get better at.

I feel like "Not For Long" was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...

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.

I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists. So I appreciate that there's a meeting point, where I would like people to know about the work that I'm doing, and that requires me to talk about it.

I didn't know folk music growing up, no. It's something I've come to study, really, because I think there's so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels.
