I feel like writing music is a great chance to create something that extends beyond yourself.

There is a balance in between where you can still make art, but it does not have to be insular.

I would love to be friends with Kanye West, because I know he is not a dreadful person, he is a lovely person and I think he is misunderstood.

It is one of those things that is universally connectable, people can connect to it from everywhere; music is like that universal language.

I feel like a good song is one that ticks all the boxes, but a great song is one that has this kind of special quality that just resonates with people.

I just chuck a bunch of words down and whether they find themselves into a song... I have lots of weird notes on my phone. I often come up with a phrase that I really like, I write it down and it stays in my notes folder, and when I'm writing I will scroll through and see if it kind of fits and if I can mould a verse around it.

I think my first song ever was when my cat died. It was this awful, dreadful black cat who was angry and hated everything. Yet I was so upset when it died.
