I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel. If I didn't let that other stuff out and stuck to a certain format, I would feel like I was missing out on something. I'm just enjoying my ride and being who I am.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

I am the type of artist where you can't tell me anything. I have always been that way. I am right. I don't need any input.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.
