I think closing-off is the most detrimental thing we can do as people. Also, the idea of not judging oneself.

It's hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous.

Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce.

From a self-conscious standpoint, it's hard to see myself on a screen in a way that isn't just me playing music or doing something silly.

I am a horrible visual artist. I can't fix a car, sew, knit, cook, etc. Statistically, there is more I don't do than do.

I've realized that I have a lot of different loves, and I want to pursue writing, but I can never divorce myself from music.

"We can't name it, but we can sing along." That is my ultimate relationship to any art form, but especially music.
