Look, When I Look Back, From 20

I Think There Is A Certain Perversity In My Music In That I Continue, You Know, To Eat At The Same Ball Of Vomit Year After Year.

I'm An Australian, And When I Grew Up Much Of My Influences Were American - Blues Music And Country Music, All That Sort Of Thing.

I Think I Have Always Had A Pretty Strong Creative Impulse. And That Has Probably Saved Me From Abandoning Myself Completely.

I Want To Write Songs That Are So Sad, The Kind Of Sad Where You Take Someone's Little Finger And Break It In Three Places.

Love Songs Come In Many Guises And Are Seemingly Written For Many Reasons – As Declarations Or To Wound – I Have Written Songs For All Of These Reasons – But Ultimately The Love Songs Exist To Fill, With Language, The Silence Between Ourselves And God, To Decrease The Distance Between The Temporal And The Divine.
