Life is hard and it gets worse and worse and worse.

If your parents gave you fire to play with when you were two, you'd be standing in fire by the time you were an adult.

I think the hardest thing about my life is that I've met so many people all over the world who I love, but they're not friends with each other.

People tend to think I'm insane, and I'm really tired of it.

I need to be able to face things.

After my second-to-last record called "The Greatest," I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, not anger towards myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

Nobody considers a covers record an album.
