I really wanted to maintain that bedroom philosophy to creating stuff. I don't believe the hype I think a great record is because I put a lot of love into it. If people are feeling it, that's fantastic.

It's weird how things are really stop-start in my creative process. I can't just turn it on - it just happens kind of randomly and I've just got to ride it when it's good. Surf's up! It's like that.
