For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days. ↗

I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable. ↗

I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens. ↗

I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps. ↗

I'm not going to play lead guitar in a concert hall full of people, because I'm going to mess up a lot. ↗

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat. ↗

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it. ↗

I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television. ↗

When I was about five or seven years old my mother was placed in a mental institution and so we were with our father who worked very hard, and we had to figure a lot of things out. ↗

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family. ↗
