If you want the world to pay for projects, you have to be able to display why you're worthy.

It’s not easy to ask… asking makes you vulnerable.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

All of my music, my stage show, my personality, my blog, my twitter feed, anything that's made me me, and a huge part of why people like and respect me, is that I just don't spend much energy on that other stuff. It's not worth it. It's a losing battle too. You're just screwed the minute you engage.

I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.

We are human and our nature is to air...

The perfect tools aren't going to help us if we can't face each other and give and receive fearlessly, but more important, to ask without shame.
