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

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

Shame is the shadow of love.

The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.

I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.

My mom is a sculptress.

I do take enormous interest in what's going on. I try to see whatever I can, whenever I can.
