For me, recording was a lot about honing my guitar skills and honing my singing.
I won #40 in an open mic competition when I was 17 and thought, 'This is amazing!'
I think as soon as you start believing you're doing something superior to other people, then you start losing the plot.
I don't know if I'm particularly shy.
When you're playing guitar, it's the tiny little nuances that make the difference. For me, obviously, tunings is a huge one.
I listen to other people's stuff and, more and more, you realise how much is layered and how many different guitar parts there are.
I'm terrified of routine.
It's the bane of my life and my existence, people telling me to be a little more succinct with what I write.
I guess I'm the sort who, if I find something comfortable, tends to push against it.
I find it funny how at British festivals there are such inflated egos. It's rare that I even talk to anyone at a lot of them.
It's nice to be the centre of attention among many women.
I get really angsty if I've got songs building up and I haven't gotten them recorded.
When you first sit down to write songs, you have to be selfish.
To have a sort of career in music still kind of freaks me out every now and then.
I've been to some kind of weird places in America. I've been to Idaho.
It's so bizarre, being in the rolling water, but I like how insignificant it makes me feel, that's a good head space to be in.
I live in a small town so I get recognised a lot which is weird.
A lot of the bars are really nice to me now because they've heard me on the radio.
I've never been a fan of all the R&B and vocoder stuff you hear on the radio.
I was never in music to make it to award shows.
I need some time and space to make sure I'm on the right track with myself and playing music I want to play.
We spent so much time on 'Every Kingdom,' it was a real heart record.
I'm not like a total recluse who lives in the woods or anything.
I think it's important to find your own voice in your own space.
I like slightly obscure places, where the waves may not be world class, but you can tie some culture in with your surf trip.
In the countryside, you're always hearing sheep, birds, tractors and farm equipment.
Without a doubt, Ibiza is one of my favourite places on the planet.
New York is one of my favorite places in the world, Brooklyn especially.
I don't think I've ever been particularly careerist about music.
