Much of appreciating art or music is really the interpretation of the listener. To a certain extent it's projection - it's what people need or lack in themselves that they then put upon these people that they admire.

I'm kind of like, "never say never."

My head's a carousel of pictures and The spinning never stops.

When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.

I'm happy just because I found out I am really no one

Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

When I try to explain to people the big influences in my life, or at least when I first started, the most important ones were my friends who were also writing songs and were typically four or five years older than me.
