My parents were hippies.

I have a habit of recording records very quickly - and not in a haphazardly way, not in a way where I'm not focused on details, because I'm a freak when it comes to that.

My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.

It's not easy starting a label and putting out your own records. It's required me at times to humble myself and really push and work hard to try to give this the best shot. I really want to share this with the world.

My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.
