I'm learning as I go. The music has drawn me out of my shell. It's made me open my door a little more and be able to look at people in the eye.

I realized the more I made the music for myself, the more successful I was becoming.

I write everything. I have that control issue with my music. That's why I'm not in a band.

I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.

Someone asked me if I was a method actor - I loved that! I needed to know what it felt like to lose everything just to do the Bad Day video! I could really feel the angst!

Someone asked me if I play piano because I feel like I have a protective wall around me. Maybe. I am really messed up.

I was doing stuff that for me was sort of more about playing real music.
