If in anything I have faith in something you could call the human spirit - I have faith it will always save itself at the last minute.

I am not good at aligning myself with any movement that comes along but also I don't like the thought of sitting back and doing nothing.

I'm sure the audience could see me trembling. I want to do more live work; my next goal is to shake the fear.

Can't quite believe it after being so used to being musically invisible for so long. It makes me feel very warm to know that people who are the same age as I was when I wrote those songs understand them for what they were and find something in them.

I knew I wanted to do something that wasn't just domestic and endless but I had no idea what and no inkling that it could ever be music.

If in anything I have faith in something you could call the human spirit - I have faith it will always save itself at the last minute.

I chose the songs for the music more than for the lyrical content and it wasn't until the end of the recording and when we were trying to decide running order that I realized how sad a lot of the songs could sound.
