I look a lot like my father and his mother.

I'm not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.

Most of my lyrics are little stories about my experiences or those of my friends.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

I've made sacrifices. I'm not anti-fashion but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

Whatever I'm doing, I'm in that moment and I'm doing it. The rest of the world's lost. If I'm cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what's the point of doing it?

When you tour, you regain the music and the connection with the audience.
