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.

In a sense, touring is crazy. You go city to city playing the show over and over again. But there's something magic about being in front of people, so it's not like going through the motions every night. It's a different experience.

If I didn't make a single song in two months, I'm slippin'. You can't just party every night.

Success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

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?

If you push yourself to stay hungry, you're always working towards at least taking steps forward. If you're taking steps forward, then you're making progress.
