I think I am a late-bloomer. My taste in music just keeps getting better.

I was pretty tough and serious in my 20s.

After being in the creative, hermetic state I have been in, coming out has been painful, but it is getting easier.

I think that it's always more interesting to combine familiar sounds together in a new way and with newer sounds if you can make it work, rather than sticking to just one style too strictly.

I tend to work on a song, generate ideas, and re-arrange it like five times, and I'm glad I take the time to do that, because I think my original songs come out better.

Certain people have the eye of the tiger, and I never was myself that kind of person, although I'm not a slacker.

When I moved to New York in my 20s, I didn't have an obnoxious ego, but it was huge! I'll thought, "I'll never die and I can do anything."
