I Like Being By The Ocean.

My Mum Was Too Busy Raising Four Of Us To Encourage My Hopes. But I'm Glad I Had The Upbringing I Did. It Made Me A Worrier And A Thoughtful, Curious Person.

I Find Male Singers And What They Sing About Fascinating. It Makes Me Realize How Little We Know About Ourselves And How Little I Know About Myself. It's Interesting To See The Male Perspective.

I Take Inspiration From Everything Around Me, Also Relationships And Friends. And The Inside Of My Crazy Head.

You Pick Up Loads Of Baggage With Your First Record With Reaction To It From Fans And Critics. So I Went To Ireland By Myself For A Couple Of Weeks With My Guitar. I Read Lots Of Poetry, I Read Patti Smith's Autobiography And Started Words And Phrases And Then Songs Started To Take Shape.

I Believe In The Moment Of Things And Fate And Things Happening For A Reason, So I Write Things Down And I Trust It.
