I started making art with art therapy. It's what I know how to do. I got a lot of criticism for that when I was in school. But I think it works for me.

I like the idea of multidisciplinary conversations, so in that spirit, I try and make a contribution from the art world into the music world.

I work intentionally to try and make dense, complex things. We can move between genres and forms, from something that looks like a PowerPoint lecture to something that looks like an informercial to something that looks like a cinematic melodrama.

Instead of books, art, theatre, and music being consigned to specialized niches, we might have a criticism that better reflects the eclecticism of our time, a criticism that takes in various arts all at once.

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that's what I like to think I'm doing.

I've always made music that was representative of real life.

I've always loved projects where I can combine acting and music.

I literally left school and went straight into music via art college for a year, and I've been so involved in my job of writing songs that the more actively involved part became channeled into standing on the stage and saying things that way.

I actually like the collaboration of working with different artists.

When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It's all under the same roof. So anything creative is interesting to me.
