When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.
I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.
I love when people get songs wrong. I love when people take something from a song that's totally not what I intended!
People take songs so literally.
I'm now so keenly aware that I have everything to prove and nothing to lose.
So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.
