People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.

When somebody shows up and they believe in you, it makes all the difference.

I wanted to put jazz on the record, all the loves of music that I had on the record, so I could show people I was ahead of my 19 years. It may have been over the heads of some people.

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.

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

Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.
