The most important thing for me - and the thing I get frustrated about when I don't achieve it - is momentum. Sometimes you hit on it quite naturally and other times it's a mad struggle.

I've always loved improvising. That's how I write songs. Creativity has an improvised element to it.

It's really hard to make something that doesn't sound like everything else.

If I don't keep my music varied I go a bit stir crazy, you know? If I don't have the opportunity to jump genres every now and again I feel I'm boxed-in.
