Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

I'm not a centerfold.

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

I don't fear anybody... at all.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.

Once I catch you in one lie, it makes me question everything you said.

The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.
