I absolutely think the Seattle grunge sound was instrumental to my music education.
I live for Tuesdays, and die by Wednesdays.
I'm competitive to a fault, so of course every week I'm just like, "I want to win, I want to do great."
I think the future is whatever I'm willing to make it.
I knew at the time my haircut was pretty damn god-awful, so I was just hoping that I wasn't one of the joke ones. And they put me through to Hollywood and I thought, "Well okay, maybe I'm still one of the joke ones but at least I'm not terrible?"
I have to be involved. Whether it's me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That's part of why I got into music in the first place.
