I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

It’s okay to wonder how you could try so hard and still get stomped all over. Just don’t let them change you.

Never compare yourself to beautiful girls.

It’s the most maddening, beautiful, magical, horrible, painful, wonderful joyous thing in the world, love

I really don’t want a compilation of sounds. I just need them to be songs.

You get to a point where it's like you can't really do anything right, and people will pick on you for whatever decisions you make, so I just try and take no notice and get on with my music.

Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.
