In the end, I think musicians know that getting up in the morning and making music you love doesn't necessarily mean that you deserve billions of dollars or worship from anybody.

When I dont have a good time making music, I think of quitting a lot. I really do. I can create something else. Ill do something else.

All I do is listen to music. It's a weird thing. It's like I have so much catching up to do. I've always been over my head. That's just the way I work best, you know. Like when you're studying for school you think, "I can only study when I have to study the night before." That kind of means you're lazy or you're a procrastinator, but for me with music it's a similar thing. It's like I've been over my head for most of my career so to speak.

No matter how naturally gifted you are, it's your passion that's going to make you better and maybe touch some people.

I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.
