You know, in my music career there was a moment where the irony was just so heavy. There were people in my audience that were the reason I developed neuroses. These people that tortured my life were using my art, my poetry, as fuel for them, to torture other people.

I love jazz music and sad music.

When you're a kid, you see your parents reading the newspaper and you're like, 'God, why are they reading the newspaper?' When you're young, you're not reading the newspaper. But there comes a time in your life when the newspaper's cool.

Once you get in a position where your rent is taken care of and you do have a job, you really get to deal with yourself and really become one with yourself. And you wake to your mind every day. That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain.

Sometimes you feel like it's cursed when something takes so long to come out and you don't know if it's going to really come out.

I'm OCD beyond comparison.

There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.
