Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own; I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.

I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.

I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.

With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.

You play a couple of shows, and these label guys come - and they leave halfway through a show. Then the phone calls just stop. And your heart is broken.

Music is really everything I know. To be honest every experience I've ever had has been brought up from music and everything I do is because of music. I don't know anything else, I think about music before I go to sleep and it just really is everything that I am.

It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
