I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I feel guilty because I want to act more than I want to write songs. I'm a person who likes to transition; I like to grow.

My songs are my hookers. I can't worry about how they are going to be treated; they just need to bring home the bacon.

The mall is good for hearing new music because you hear music everywhere. I like to walk around the mall and hear what the kids are listening to, or what's the feel of Middle America, cause that's what the mall is.

Artists aren't looking for you to write them something; they're looking for you to give them something new.

You have to break your fingers to learn how to play guitar.

I have vision boards, and people think that I put the vision board up and I look at it all the time, but what I do is, when I'm having an emotional time and I'm stressed out or feeling bad, I go to the store and get all the stuff for a vision board. Instead of channeling the negative thoughts or being depressed, I change it around and I start making boards.
