It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

I feel really good about the future and working with people.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?

You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: "My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be." You realize that you need to like yourself.

It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.

The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these "strangers" that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.
