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 never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

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

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.

Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing. It's only really the last five to 10 years that I've taken my writing seriously in this way, as something I can keep working toward. I think I feel myself much more before as simply a songwriter.

It [ "Not For Long"] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.

I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
