Want to know a Secret? Someone out there can't stop thinking about you. You are Beautiful. Don't ever believe differently.
I'm sure that's every adolescent's complaint about their home town. When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.
I think that there's a proliferation of music that is done entirely in the bedroom for an Internet audience, but there's no way in hell that you could actually kill off a live show, and its importance in the creation of music - it's just impossible.
I just reached the point where I realised, I need to stop repeating myself if I'm ever actually going to enjoy the music I'm creating.

Acting is trying to be absolutely truthful; to get audiences to believe that you are a dean, when, actually, not only are you not the dean, but if you walked into the building they'd probably throw you out. That's very hard.
So it just wasn't in my house. Anywhere, I looked like I knew about the toilet.
