drama thinking wanting-more
I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.
lying people want
When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
past want needs
I don't want your future I don't need your past One bright moment Is all I ask
responsibility giving want
I feel a responsibility to the fans who have paid to see me and I want to give as good a show as I possibly can.
people want caught
I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
long people want
I'm one of those people that is up for most things. When I was offered to sing at the Oscars I was like, 'Yeah, I want to know what that's like!' I'm always curious to know what things are like - as long as you're not compromising who you are.
ocean tree want
I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe… It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear.
call conversation fit name particles scientists smallest song split word wrote
I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though?
consider drive freedom imagination letting rather role rule
It would be too frightening for me to consider myself a role model. But I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.
couple guess locked music sing
Music is my way out. I keep things locked up and never say anything. I guess in order to say something to one person, I have to sing it to a couple of thousand. It doesn't make for healthy relationships.
My mum wanted me to go to university.
album carrying wrote
When making the first album, I think I wrote a song about every six months. The first album was so much about the vocals carrying it.
easily glad hand hole learned
I'm just a black hole for stuff. No one should ever hand me anything, because I get so easily distracted. I'll be like, 'Oh, look, something shiny!' I'm glad I never learned how to drive. I would be really dangerous.
people time
When you play, it's like you know that there are people out there who are hearing it for the first time, and I think that's really important.
