The first half of high school, I had a girlfriend, and then the second half I got to know these guys who would just get stoned and jam. I had struck the goth thing by then, but I still thought of myself as Ian Curtis or something.

I have a strong impulse to protect history and time and the lineage of events.

I've always wanted to do a movie, and I really feel the urge to do it.I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.

I knew what I wanted to do, which was to become a recording artist, so I definitely felt like I had a calling. The performing part was the part that I wasn't sure about.

I tried to just do things like make some money, be responsible, help out other artists who I see have had a similar path.

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