A lot of artists make art for five years, some artists make art for ten years, a few make art for fifteen: very few do it until they die.

The reason I can do what I do on stage is because I couldn't fake it.

Whether it's just the career path of doing independent music, being an artist, however you want to pigeon-hole it, it creates a certain type of character.

I'm at best on stage. It's one of the only places where I actually can feel like a million bucks.

I love the inappropriateness of age-old wisdom in modern slang. These things are all so wonderful to me.

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.

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.
