Nothing Outside Of My Child Is Important

I Sort Of Feel Like Music Saved My Life When I Was Young. This Is The One Thing That I Knew I Was Good At.

I Was Raised With A Mother Who Told Me That I Wouldn't Succeed, That I Wasn't Good Enough. Even At The Pinnacle Of My Success, She'd Come To A Show, And There'd Be, Like, 10,000 People Screaming. And She'd Say, "i Just Don't Get It." I Think She Had So Little Faith In Herself And Her Abilities As A Parent That She Couldn't Imagine Any Offspring Of Hers Could Do So Well. And All That Did Was Drive Me To Push Back. If Someone Says, "you Can't Do This," I'm Like, "f-ck You! Oh, Yes I Can, And I Will."

Everybody Loves You When You're Easy, So Don't Disappoint Them.

I Was Very Awkward As A Kid. I Was A Square Trying To Fit Into A Circle And It Never Worked For Me. The Harder I Tried, The Harder I Fell. For Some Reason I Was A Real Target And I Got Beat Up And Called Names.

I Like The Idea That We Build Up These Walls Or Rules Or Laws To Maintain Our Reality, And When They Fall Away, You're Left With A Whole Bunch Of Illusions.
