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

I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer.

Music is a self-propelling thing. You can not rely on anybody but yourself.

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.

I really wanted to approach performing live differently than most people who just play guitar and sing.

I'm not an L.A. guy. I don't take meetings - you know what I mean? I don't really know how to interact very well with people in L.A. because everybody's got an agenda and everybody's like, "What do you do?" "Where are you going?" Or it's like, "What do you know?" And I'm not on a grind - I was there to make music and to meet people but I wasn't hustling for anything.

I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
