My mom always told me I should have a Plan B. I said that if I'm not going to play guitar I'm going to play drums. And if I'm not going to play drums, I'm going to play bass. I always just wanted to play music. I was completely obsessed.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.

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

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.

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.

I never expected to be approached for an ad campaign.

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