Alice Merton

I like eating yummy things.

I was on the beach, and I was just thinking to myself that I have no one place where I actually feel like I'm at home. I came up with the idea of having no roots - never being grounded to a certain place but having your home with people who you love.

I have complete creative freedom. If I want to put a song on the album, there's no one stopping me.

Every song is true and has its unique story behind it.

Home, for me, is with the people who I really love - whether that's in England with my family, Ireland with my relatives, or Germany and Canada with my friends.

My mom used to bake so much when I was a child, and I have a big sweet tooth.

I'm definitely sleep deprived - it is so hard to sleep on a tour bus! It moves around so much, and we have really weird time schedules.

The actual thought of not really having a home was, for me, very depressing, and it was something that I was dealing with for quite some time.

Every time someone asks me where I'm from, I'm not sure how to answer that question... so I say I have no roots.

Baking is more like chemistry, following certain instructions and knowing what comes out in the end. It's almost reassuring! Songwriting is a creative process where you go into a session with nothing and can come out of it with something incredible in the end. I never feel like I'm taking a risk with baking, but always with songwriting.

I had no idea if 'No Roots' was going to work or not.
