I found music because I felt different.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

It was a really strange way that I came into music. Once I gave voice to it, the pit of emotions that I guess I knew was inside of me for a long time, the stream never really stopped.

There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.

Music is there to access those dark emotional corners that we don't normally get too close to.

I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.

I feel that writers think with their noses to the ground, and the dark stuff kind of comes to me more, even though I really am sort of an upbeat guy. It's an honest descent into darkness. And you can't have the joy without the grief - it's why we listen to Mozart's 'Requiem.'

You have to open your mind. I like the ability to express myself in a deep way. It's the closest music to our humanity - it's like a folk music that rises up out of a culture.

When I was a boy, the only thing which captivated me as much as music was the night sky.

The darkness, the loop of negative thoughts on repeat, clamours and interferes with the music I hear in my head.
