“Sometimes I have to deal with trolls, and I just block them. But most ...” — Chet Faker Quote

Sometimes I have to deal with trolls, and I just block them. But most of the time, Twitter's heaps of fun, actually.

I would consider my diary serves the same purpose as going for a walk or a run. They are all physical ways of clearing a mental landscape.

Learning to appreciate those things that aren't related to success has proved the biggest lesson.

On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards, and they're like, 'Oh my God, I met Chet Faker' and I'm like, 'That doesn't even look like me.'

I hate fame. There's this assumption that everyone wants it - that by being a musician, I've signed up for it at some point. But personally, what I signed up for is sharing my music. I've always said I'd rather have four No. 10 songs than one No. 1 hit.

I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.

I know I can block shots and I've got to do it. That's part of my job as a big.

I think for me, trying to block the outside noise has been difficult, but also doable.

I learned from different guys I played with, too. The key was probably three people: The good Lord, the offensive linemen I played with and great fullbacks that could block very well.

I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
