I just did whatever it took to keep making music - slept on couches. You would be amazed at how far $20 can go if you stretch it out.

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 gave up that idea of trying to make music that I thought other people would want. I just made music for myself and music for people that I knew.

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 never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.

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!

I love making music but with that comes a lot of responsibility and you have to put yourself out there more. 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. In that sense of the word, it has been helpful to me so I am happy now.
