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

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

The world is full of bands and bullshit, and if I'm doing a stupid art project like rock 'n' roll then I want to spare my audience as much as possible.

Confidence was never in short supply in my case. If anything, I think I overshot the mark with confidence way too early in my career, and gradually, it's about just getting more humble and wanting to sit down more.

I've kind of gotten more timid. I used to be fearless - at a certain point I didn't care about what anybody thought. I had all the answers and I could have been as bad as I wanted to be. But nowadays I just want to be good and make people happy.

I'm a product of my environment.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.
