The only thing I knew how to do was draw and play music.

I was born into a very religious family with no TVs and a very strict Episcopal Christian religion. Music was my outlet and more of my therapy than anything, but yeah, it was the one thing in life that I've had, art and music.

I work, to this day, from morning to night, seven days a week. I'm always working two, three years ahead of my own timeline; I'm a workaholic.

The only thing I knew how to do was draw and play music.

I found it more pleasurable to write something, sing a melody over it. At a very young age, I kind of honed my writing skills, I guess.

I just never doubted myself. I always knew I was going to do something.

I always was intrigued with writing my own stuff, and I was always really bad at learning other people's stuff.
