Obviously I still gig on my own, but I've always heard my music with a band.

I think if you truly believe that something should be that way then you should push for that.

Give me one good reason why I should never make a change, baby if you hold me then all of this will go away.

I think one of the worst things people can do is try and fight the people they've agreed to work with.

I think the lesson that I learnt very early on was to listen to people you work with, because you're all in it together.

While I was travelling and I kind of had the classic realisation - that I guess most teenagers have at some point - that time's gonna run out and that's not in my power to change that.

I like to try and mix diction and experiences.

It's strange to think that I can go places and people want to hear my music. I guess that's all I ever wanted.

The thing for me though, is that songs are good depending on the memories I have with them.

Even if I know that really it's not a great song, even if it's a naff song but I have a good memory of it, then to me that's a great song.

Librarian of Congress: It's a librarian's dream.

The game's in the refrigerator, the door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O's jiggling.

The only thing that follows work is results.

I cannot play a lie. I have to believe in what I play or it won't come out.
