It was like an exponential weed. And people treated me as if I was an established musician. I wasn't.

I did a lot of writing when I was in college, and that's what I thought I wanted to do; saying that I wanted to be a writer seemed more reasonable than saying I wanted to be a musician.

People quickly forget that people are people.

I don't place too much importance on words. It's always the last thing I do because I'm definitely more interested in mood.

I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.

The fact that I fell into this seemed more like a stroke of good fortune than hard work. Not to say that I didn't work hard, but it wasn't like, "I'm going to be a musician."

It always felt like I had to be a realist.
