I was more than just a moody artist.

I went to America and got into a band, had success, had hits in Australia.

I've never said, 'I'm squeaky clean.' It's always the people who project that image that are hiding something. No one's squeaky clean.

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

I don't think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.

I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails.

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.
