If I simply do what I've always done, it's never failed me.

The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.

We can only connect the dots we collect, which makes everything you write about you... your connections are the thread that you weave into the cloth that becomes the story that only you can tell.

If you love people enough, they will give you everything.

I make the music that I want to make and make the show that I want to make. If you like it, you come. If you don't like it, you don't have to.

I feel like I've gotten to the point in my career and in my life where I can allow myself to write whatever comes into my head and not judge it too harshly.

One of the best things about Kickstarter and crowdfunding and the collapse of the music business is a lot of artists like me have been forced to face our own weird mess about ourselves and what we thought it meant to become musicians.
