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.

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

I've always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity.

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

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've been writing a lot about just the aspects of luck and being picked, and how of course it's always how one perceives themselves in the world, as a bit of a scapegoat or a bit of a hero. Everyone generally has about a 60/40 split that volleys, between those two.

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.
