My reaction to everything in life is when it gets a bit complicated to water it down and make it simple again.

I just think of everything I do and how happy it will make me to do it. I don't like having my photograph taken, for instance, so I don't do that often.

I'm a bit of a magpie: whatever I see or hear or read feeds into the songs.

If life is simple being alone, why make it complicated by marriage or by meeting more and more people.

Now that I'm feeling the responsibilities of adulthood, the choices we make become an incredible weight.

I know how ridiculous this sounds because of the job I do but I don't believe in romanticism and make-believe.
