"I went to study some orchestration stuff because I got so inspired working with all the orchestras." — Dido Armstrong

I spent a lot of my childhood in my own head, making up stories. I didn't have a lot of outside influences, so I was able to make my own decisions about what I wanted to do.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.

I'm too much of a control freak.

Life for rent means that my life isn't really my own, I only rented it for a while, but if I don't manage to buy it, to own it, then nothing of what I think is mine is really mine.
