I have my own tastes and I have my my own... like, I dunno. I think it's really subjective; something that I think is a great song, is unlistenable to somebody else, which I've come to realise.

I have this obsession with the '80s because I missed all of it.

You are always growing, so maybe the way that you bring the songs forward and translate them is more mature.

I write a tiny fraction of what I used to write. My only job used to be to just write songs, and that was a really nice job to have, but only a tiny amount of people heard those songs, and I didn't make a living from it, and eventually I begged my parents to let me move back into my room.

Never, never mind your bleeding heart.

I'm much more drawn to fiction, to short stories, and to plays, than I am to diarists.

I also don't like to make really big records, because I feel then that the songs don't get enough space to be themselves, so I would never want to make a record that's like seventeen songs.
