I met PJ Harvey when I was in England, and the first thing I want to do when I meet a songwriter I admire is to ask them how do they receive songs.

I love to read things that have moral messages, and I love to hear stories where it's not just a hook, you have to follow the story, you have to listen to the message of the song, and get it and use it in your everyday life.

My challenges have not been around music. My hardest thing in music was just sitting down and teaching myself how to play and believing in myself.

I dont marry bandmates just to go marrying bandmates.

Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.

Even though I like looking good - don't get me wrong - but if I don't want to, I don't have to.

I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.
