I think I'm a maker of songs, and songs are like films or a picture: You put them over there, and they have nothing to do with you.
I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.
Ideas for songs can come from something as simple as a photograph and letting my imagination run wild on an old photograph that I found, or to a film that I have seen or to just most of the time, just daily walking through life and keeping your eyes open.
I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It's almost like watching a scene from a film, and that's what I go about trying to catch in a song.
