I've been writing songs since I was, like, five and I've been singing since, like, I can't remember.
I've been writing songs since I was a wee child.
You write a lot of bad songs before you write good ones. It takes time!
Like, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.
I'd love to collaborate and write a song with Will Gallagher from Oasis. I think he's a great songwriter.
I could hum Beatles songs before I could talk - not very well, but sort of.
I sleep for about four hours a night, or day really. I go to bed at, like, 9 A.M., sleep for four hours, then get up and start the day again. I don't mind if that's not healthy.
I've been told I'm out of my mind since I was 11.
You get more insight as you get older, on everything.
I'd call my music rock but with pop hooks.
Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.
One of my first favorite records was the debut Garbage album, which I heard when I was very young. Shirley Manson is a great female vocalist and performer and I admire her for that.
Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.
The Beatles did everything first, and they did it the best.
