I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.

It's not as if the stories merge to a point where you think they are your life, but you do let them in the front door and the back door, and it's okay that sometimes certain characters stay for dinner.

Healing for me is being able to sit next to the butcher and say 'Yes, I’m sitting next to the butcher now,' instead of saying 'there is no butcher'.

I had a very strict upbringing with my dad and was very close to my mum, who was extremely loving.

The rain is sharp today, as you shock me sane.

When I got older, I chose to look at Christianity as another myth.

A lot of songs are derivative of each other.
