I feel like New Zealand's a bit of an unchartered territory for me in a way.

I probably listen to more instrumental music than music with lyrics, but at the same time I do love both.

What's funny for me is that I made a lot of the music I make with intentions of it being a song you listen to, to chill out.

I'm all for in my production, creating really unique textures and sounds - for me that's what I love about music.

I'm now much more aware of my mental state. I have a lot more control over it and can choose how I feel.

Music really does just boil down to basically, essentially songwriting chords and melodies.

I feel like I've gotten to a point where I don't know if it can get much bigger. I've been climbing and I feel very happy.

Most of the music I've listened to or grew up listening to - a lot of it at least - is instrumental stuff.

Australian weather's amazing! You notice that when you go overseas.

It's more my own thing if I do instrumentals, but I also do really love collaborating with vocalists, so it's a good balance.

Once you make something you think it's awesome, but it's only after you listen to it for a few weeks then you actually get a proper perspective on it.

But if we are to remain a great empire, we must have a greater understanding of the hearts and minds of others.

It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world!

If you can keep your head when all about are losing theirs it's just possible you haven't grasped the situation.

I'm going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don't, I've written 14 musicals now, I don't want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.

Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God's law.

Ignorance of one's misfortunes is clear gain.

Don't believe everything you read.

One must have tradition in oneself, to hate it properly.

Is there no pity sitting in the clouds, That sees into the bottom of my grief?

It is my wish to leave a message to the whole world from the universe, a message of love and peace to the people of the world.
