names people important
Names for bands lose their meaning after a little while. They become a series of sounds that you associate with people in music, really. The most important thing about choosing a name for a band is if you can imagine forty-thousand people screaming it in unison.
people individuality important
You lose so many material possessions being on the road. You can't get too attached to stuff and you have to remember that people must never become possessions. People are spheres intersecting.

Most of these are love songs where I'm trying to come to grips with relationships. They're frequently told from the point of view of ex-lovers, so at first it may seem like I'm being arrogant, but actually I'm eating humble pie. I'm cutting open a vein and letting it bleed for you.

I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.

I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around.
desire songwriting
A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!
change tired confusing
Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.
thinking people facts
I like the fact that people either think I'm incredibly gorgeous or flippin ugly.
writing honest songwriting
Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.
used weirdo magnet
I'm a weirdo magnet, but I'm handling it better than I used to.
