In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.

If you get comfortable, that's how you fall off.

Anybody can have a great album in themselves but it's not until you bring it out and put it into tangible form and creating it and working on it in the studio that all of that comes to life you know what I mean?

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

What inspires me is the desire to be on. The desire to be successful. The desire to reach people through my music and make a living off it and never have to do anything else. Being able to do music full time and travel the world and share this music with everybody. That's the dream.

Never give up and never conform.
