When I was 18, I was playing to 18 to 21-year-olds, and then, when I was 25, still playing to 18 to 25-year-olds. As I've gone on, the crowd has gone in both directions, both younger and a little older now than it's ever been. It is an interesting thing to hit 30.

I guess people naturally try to find meaning in music.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

I'm interested in branching out and seeing where my music goes.

I'll put out an album, and people review it, and some people love it, and some people tear it apart. By nature of the project, I've always wanted this to be something where people react strongly to it.

A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.

It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.
