I don't believe in competition, ain't nobody else like me around

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.

When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.

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

Things that I would say or would like to saw are just easier to sing about and put out there in music.

You could say I'm a laid-back kind of guy.

You know, I've never done karaoke, ever. It makes me nervous - I think it's the lack of the guitar and just a microphone.
