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 am someone that follows the news and reads newspapers yet what do you believe and what don't you.

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.

I firmly disbelieve that one has to be a tortured soul to write good music.

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

I like things that are beaten up, that have lived a little. I like things that are real. I like things that are made out of wood or string. I never feel very responsive to plastic machinery.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.
