I definitely don't feel a sense of jealousy or competition, and that's a really good feeling.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

Everything comes with hard work. You never get to stop working. I don't see myself ever getting comfortable enough to not have to worry about working.

I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

Talk about a struggling artist having to work against enormous odds ... But I love movies so much, so I'm going to do it.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.
