Sing the song or keep it inside.

Well, a lot of successes come by mistake.

But at this phase of my life, I want to write and not have to think about whether a song is going to be a hit. I want to explore the music that inspires me, and I don't want to ape myself.

Bowie's obviously my biggest influence.

I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.

I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.

It's a beautiful thing to be that committed to something that you get so much joy from, but it is like a sick addiction, because sometimes it's incredibly volatile, incredibly painful, and very frustrating. A man shouldn't be defined by his work, but I am.
