I'm Hugely Self-critical In The Morning.

I'm Unable To Really Write The Kind Of Song That Doesn't Have A Visual Element, Which Most Songs Don't.

The Idea Of Songwriting Is A Transformative Thing, And What I Do With Songwriting Is Take Situations That Are Quite Ordinary And Transform Them In Some Way. Apart From Things Like The Murder Ballads, The Songs I Write, At Their Core, Are Quite Ordinary Human Concerns, But The Process Of Writing About Them Transforms Them Into Something Else.

The Big Problem With Songwriting For Me Is Starting A New Song. It's The Thing Where All The Anguish Exists, Not In The Writing Of The Song, But The Starting Of The New Song.

Inspiration Is A Word Used By People Who Aren't Really Doing Anything. I Go Into My Office Every Day That I'm In Brighton And Work. Whether I Feel Like It Or Not Is Irrelevant.

Writing Screenplays Makes Me A Better Musician Because It Clears My Head. After Writing A Movie, I Go Running Back To Music As Fast As I Can.
