There's no substitute to being successful on an actual chart.

Every song that I've done is me in one way or another.

I don't care how small the game. I want to win.

I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.

I used to play pianos in bars. You know in hotels, you'd see guys playing piano with a snifter? That was me, with a painted-on mustache. I was about 15.
