The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.

It's always the roughest path, but I think it's got the most reward at the end.

If I wanted the ticket to be a $200 ticket, I'd have made it a $200 ticket, but I don't want it to be that.

I've played shows with injuries before but unfortunately cannot overcome having no voice.

The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.

Music's cyclical. There's always that next generation that always comes along.

I think right now, you've seen these artists pop up over the last decade who've flirted with branching together a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them have been huge, and sold millions of records. And I think over time it's become a little bit of what the industry can be.
