I've put myself in this position where I haven't set myself up with a Plan B. I don't have a safety net; it's all in.

Just wearing all black comes from Johnny Cash. I'm on the road so much that if I wear all black my clothes never get dirty. You can't tell if I've worn the same shirt twice.

I grew up on the bus, or riding my bike, or catching the subway, I've never had a car. In college, any girl I ever dated had a car, too.

I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.

A great song can come from anybody. A great performance can come from anybody. It doesn't matter who you are, and that's truly what I believe.

I've matured as a person and so has the music... It's gotten more sophisticated and interesting I think.

It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.
