I would consider myself a perfectionist, yeah. I don't think that is always that helpful, either. Sometimes it's good to be a little more open-minded; you can overthink things when things are actually fine, and it's that moment that you lose it. Looking back, sometimes I've made mistakes from being a perfectionist.

The sound is very much always in my head, I have to get the sound out of my head onto the recording.

I really want to come back! I definitely want to come back. Some of my fondest memories are in New Zealand.

I don't think competition is good in music. What is good, is the desire and the ambition to create your best work.

You don't have to be as good a writer to write a song; it's a very different process to writing straight prose. To learn how to write prose takes a lot of years of practice.

I find myself, the more I grow up the more I hang around creatives, musicians. I find them more inspiring to be around. I'd probably say that. The more creative you are - I get along with them better. There is more of an understanding.

I think particularly in music, popularity os a very fickle thing. You're only as good as your last song.
