When I was a teen, or like 18 to early 20s, I used to go to festivals all the time. I'd save all my money.

An album is a thing you take time out and go work on.

People should be free to take whatever they want from music and I think that over time I realized that different people always find different things in my songs, which is really good.

The music, I think, is just as important as the lyrics; it portrays the emotion of the song. I play the kind of music that I want to listen to.

There's lots of interesting stuff happening in the world. Lots of good and bad things, and there's interest in music still, which there always will be, which is always a good thing.

Artists thrive off each other, and when you see other people doing cool stuff, it inspires you to do cool stuff.

I don't really feel like a rock artist, but I guess in the small category of the world of music genres, that's where I fall in because I've got a guitar.
