I've played music that's terrible in the past, and not everyone likes you, which is fine.

You can impact on people with music, and I love that because music impacts on me.

I've got an awesome career happening, and I absolutely am so stoked with how it's all worked out.

If you get the chance to be a Bourke Street busker, you actually have to do an audition in front of a council panel. You get a roster every week that has your busking shifts on it - I'm serious: it's an actual job.

Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.

I started out doing music videos and photography, and I always loved writing. Filmmaking seemed to be a good compilation of all these skills in a way that allowed me to tell a story 'greater than the sum of its parts.'

I had a normal childhood where I was able to cultivate my own creativity, and I don't think I would have been ready for this crazy business at 8 years old.

I don't know if I've got the capacity for all of the creativity that I want to put out there, which is annoying and frustrating - it's kinda like torture.
