All the pressure I have is from myself. I have a lot of pressure inside me. I wanna be great. I don't wanna be average.

Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart

Strategies are great, business models are great, but the reality is your music has to mean something to people.

The kids now are more productive than we ever were; they're a lot more prolific and productive in the sense that they have to have music out all the time.

If you don't believe inside yourself that you can learn a lot, nobody's ever going to do that for you. Nobody's ever gonna give you self drive. Nobody's ever gonna give you self esteem. Nobody's ever gonna give you your self worth. You have to set it for yourself.

I try to make music that's really real. I've always liked music that makes me feel something. I'm not a brain first, music second person.

Nowadays I embrace it all/Beautiful ideals and amazing flaws.
