thinking honest intimate
I think your most intimate thoughts are only honest when they're in your head.
thinking balance logic
I'm reluctantly interested in love and helplessly interested in logic and yet they're so conflicting. And they're both necessary for a happy balance, a happy existence... I think.
thinking people way
People think I look odd onstage. But the way I deal with being incredibly nervous is by concentrating really hard.
thinking forever goes-on
I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever. But that's fine. I have to make my peace with that.
lonely reality thinking
I think everybody who relates to music is kind of isolated. It's lonely. Everyone who uses the creative side of their brain is that much removed from reality. They are looking for answers wherever they can find them.
confused thinking maturity
Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.
girlfriend mean thinking
I sound awful saying it but I think it can be like that. I see a lot of people in unstimulating relationships. And not just boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. They find themselves in stagnant friendships. If people were a little less scared [of ending things] they'd get more out of life… You meet the right person at the right time and they fulfil a certain something in your life. You fulfil something in theirs. But there's a time limit to that. Unless you choose to be bloody good company for the rest of your life, do you know what I mean?
amount authors beings dislike human noticed tend
I've noticed that, with many of the authors I like, I tend to think I would dislike them as human beings or that there'd be a healthy amount of debate if I ever did meet them.
capable change conclusion fascinated slightly whether
I am slightly fascinated by the question of whether humanity is capable of change. I may have come to the conclusion that we're not, but we keep trying.
judge people prove
You are what you can prove you've done. That's how people judge you.
conversation either perform
When I'm singing I feel like I'm talking to someone. I'm in conversation when I perform - either with myself or with whomever is listening.
bit confirmed hard move people quite reminded somewhere unusually
It is quite hard to relax in London. I always say I'd move somewhere quieter, but I am a bit of a confirmed urbanite now - it crept up on me without me noticing. I always think that I function quite well on my own, unusually so, but then I'm reminded how important people are to me.
artistic journeys quite
I'm a songwriter, and I understand artistic licence. We can embellish, go on little journeys and explore our inner selves. It can be quite self-indulgent.
becoming danger evolution lots mass positives production specific technology unique
I know there are lots of positives in the evolution of technology, but I also think it will be responsible for the end of a unique character, of a specific kind of geographical culture. The world is getting so small, and mass production is getting so big. Everything is in danger of becoming the same.
