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 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.

When I write - I always write on my own - I demo those songs on a four-track.

I've always felt that I'm affected by the world, by the way we treat each other, by the way different countries treat each other. I've always been very affected by politics, society, but I never got to a place as a writer where I felt like I could begin to deal with such things and do it well.

We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.

But huge photographs of dead bodies are slightly different. I couldn't find much humor there.

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.
