Everybody Is Influenced By Someone.

To Me, Music Shouldn't Be Ego-driven. When You Go Out On Stage And Play Songs, It Is. But When You're Sitting In A Room, Writing Songs, It's A Completely Different Process. It's A Completely Different Place. It's A Creative Place, A Musical Place. It Has Nothing To Do With Who Likes What.

There Wasn't A Key Moment When I Knew I Wanted To Quit.

If I'm Going To Go Out To Be A Solo Artist, It's Because I Want To Do Something Different Without Having To Wait On Someone Else's Schedule Or Hobbies Or Be Limited By Other People's Prejudices. I'd Be Kind Of Stupid Not To Exercise That.

I Think That Sometimes Almost The Bigger Tragedy In A Weird Way Is All Of The Future Imagined Creative Projects That Could Have Happened That Didn't. I Feel The Same Way About Lots Of Brilliant People Who Die Young, Kind Of Senselessly Especially.

The Words You Say Never Live Up To The Words In Your Head.
