I sit at the piano for a couple of hours and tinker away until I get something. I am a nocturnal spirit, like an owl.

If we all knew how to make that jump from good to great then I think every song would be great.

I feel like it is only music where people are like, "You can't do this for other people, you have to do it for yourself." Which I hate.

Acting is fun. I enjoy it, but there is just not many opportunities to do it on a serious level. It is kind of either bad community musicals, or if you are lucky enough to be cast in something serious. I feel like you really have to be going after it, and for me I am a little bit distracted.

I feel like success is really subjective. You could win a school talent show and be like "I was successful", or you could get a Number One in New Zealand and be like "I was successful', or you could win a Grammy and be like "I was successful".

I'd gotten to a point where I would write a lyric and then delete it because I was worried about how it sounded. Pretty much, I was a dreadful person and It was just a way of dealing with feeling kind of guilty about that.

You don't make a film and then be like I am only going to play it in my house and no-one is going to see it - that is ridiculous.
