When I was young, I had idols that I thought were wonderful. I wanted to be just like them.

I grab an instrument to make my body a song, but I'm not a player as such, maybe a little more on guitar, but certainly not piano.

I'd want to read the stories that I'd written, I'd want to show the drawings that I made. That was just purely natural. So I knew I wanted to go into the arts in some way and that I'd want to show that work in some way.

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.

I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.

I think it does surprise me a bit when people have a very fixed idea of what I'm like, based upon the work that I do, which is something that is very separate.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
