I'm not musically trained and I'm not all these other things. I'm creative with a keyboard and a drum machine, but I can't really make these perfect minimal musical executions - all the things that would be nice with all these refined poems.

I'm not the kind of artist that wants to get a sound, refine it, and do it 'til I'm 50 so that it's the purest amber of my one way.

I am not concerned about the 80 BMP consistency law of popular music. I'm concerned with other things, and they're very valid.

That was how I got into music and art was being a battle kid from Jersey, so I didn't have these wonderful ways of learning commitment, dedication, practicing skill.

Being on stage, it's like, "Ooo-kay, now I remember why all this is going wrong or right!" It's very much my element.

I know what love is because I lost it at an early age.

You can always find the sample that covers what you're hearing, but barely...it allows me to really concentrate on words.
