I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.

You get one chance to make an impression and coasting through is a disservice.

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

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

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.

I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

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