After years of hotels, I'm horribly inept at cleaning up after myself.

I am regarded as a usurper, as an imposter and dilettante, because I do technically come from the wrong side of the tracks in musical terms.

My parents were serious working musicians, but they were not stars - not like pop stars that you have now. They had to make a living and that meant touring, working hard, going on the road - and we were roped in.

I'm definitely a fan of juxtaposition. Using the most beautiful line to say the most horrific thing - I think one of the main things in songwriting is definitely friction between the words and the melody.

I have this horrible, horrible habit of going on YouTube and checking out comments about what I do.

For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.

Mowing your lawn is against nature.
