I'm not doing contemporary songs unless something comes along that really knocks my socks off. ↗

Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song. ↗

Talking about covers, whether visually or sonically, if a particular combination of notes struck a chord in your heart in a way that you want to be a part of it by covering that song, then there's nothing wrong with it. ↗

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back. ↗

Not necessarily, a lot of my songs are firmly tongue in cheek. ↗

I think differently, I think it's about reaching everybody on every different plane and every different level, and if I could remix the song and do a dance remix, that's great. If I could do a classical version, that'll be great too. It's all just about expression. ↗
