It was not designed for me to be 35 and still doing the same thing. But in another sense, it's like I've had an extended adolescence. It helps that I look young, too.

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've learned that I shouldn't shrink from success. Though honestly I thought they'd be knocking on my door years ago.

I had my gothy phase, but I was never a troublemaker or anything like that.

I always want to do something that just sort of fits the mood. It's supposed to help the song, it's not supposed to take away from the song or re-contextualize it. I always feel like the less you make it a conceptual territorial debut, the better.

I was been raised to believe I was an artist. I believed what my parents said and fulfilled it, like a prophecy.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.
