great lots met people playing since taught
I've lived a lot since I was 16, so I've got more things to write about. I've started playing around the world and met some great people along the way who've taught me lots of things.
music trying
I want a long career in music, so you've gotta keep trying things out; it's gotta get progressively better.
few hundred music people records thousand totally whenever
That would be awesome, to be totally making records whenever I want and to play a show and have a few hundred thousand people there at any city you go to because people know you and your music.
dad music properly quite reason song stop word
My dad dying was actually a reason for me to stop music properly for about a year, because he was a big supporter. All I wanted to do was write a song about him and, you know, when something's too fresh, you can't quite word it.
I've got some real diehards down in New Zealand; I look after them and make sure they always get tickets.
beauty best musician
The beauty of being a musician is writing songs. That's the best part. It's therapeutic and honest and private.
far gets hear music until
I want to let everyone hear my music and enjoy it, but just as long as it's fun. I'll go as far as until it gets too much like a day job.
bar believer eight gig instead paid work
I'm a big believer that when we put so much into our jobs - and everyone does - you deserve to be get paid for it instead of doing a gig and then having to work in a bar for eight hours.
key love music opinions originally remain remember true wrote
I'd say the key thing is to remain true to what originally got you into music. When I wrote 'Hallelujah,' it ignited me to do music because of the love and joy that I got from writing that song. Down the road, you get all of these opinions from people; just remember what got you started in the first place.
subject wrote
I remember when I wrote songs when I was about 16, they all sounded the same because I didn't know anything. And all the subject matter was all the same because I hadn't actually done much.
You just feel better when you look nice.
people
People might think I'm a bit more intimidating than I am.
I'm not aiming to be someone like Christina Aguilera.
attention fact music period reason stayed stick stuck time
I've got a very short attention span, and this has been part of the reason I'm so kind of dumbfounded at the fact that I've still stayed with music. Nothing has ever stuck for me, and music's the only thing that's managed to stick out for a long period of time.
