We Georgians are really into food and drink. We would never have finger food at a party or a wedding - celebrations are always one long meal, on one long table, with endless toasts.

The Georgians will treat you like royalty, and the odds are you'll do a lot of eating, drinking and toasting.

At 15, I did a ouija board with my best friend. I pretended I was possessed by a ghost, and she believed it.

I do tend to drape my real feelings with pretty words and different layers and stuff.

I'm enjoying doing research, to get better at the guitar, to get better at rhyming. That's an essential skill.

I love winter. It's a beautiful time, but also a melancholic time, a reflective time, and I'd come to a point in my life where I felt I had to make certain decisions about my career.

I like going for walks in the western harbour, a newly-built area of Malmo where the old harbour used to be. It is surrounded by canals and waterways and the architecture is modern and innovative - the landmark Turning Torso skyscraper, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is the star of the show.

I see myself and many artists like me as the torchbearers through these dark ages.

Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.

Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization.

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
